    1.31 -/**
    1.32 - * The <code>DataInput</code> interface provides
    1.33 - * for reading bytes from a binary stream and
    1.34 - * reconstructing from them data in any of
    1.35 - * the Java primitive types. There is also
    1.36 - * a
    1.37 - * facility for reconstructing a <code>String</code>
    1.38 - * from data in
    1.39 - * <a href="#modified-utf-8">modified UTF-8</a>
    1.40 - * format.
    1.41 - * <p>
    1.42 - * It is generally true of all the reading
    1.43 - * routines in this interface that if end of
    1.44 - * file is reached before the desired number
    1.45 - * of bytes has been read, an <code>EOFException</code>
    1.46 - * (which is a kind of <code>IOException</code>)
    1.47 - * is thrown. If any byte cannot be read for
    1.48 - * any reason other than end of file, an <code>IOException</code>
    1.49 - * other than <code>EOFException</code> is
    1.50 - * thrown. In particular, an <code>IOException</code>
    1.51 - * may be thrown if the input stream has been
    1.52 - * closed.
    1.53 - *
    1.54 - * <h4><a name="modified-utf-8">Modified UTF-8</a></h4>
    1.55 - * <p>
    1.56 - * Implementations of the DataInput and DataOutput interfaces represent
    1.57 - * Unicode strings in a format that is a slight modification of UTF-8.
    1.58 - * (For information regarding the standard UTF-8 format, see section
    1.59 - * <i>3.9 Unicode Encoding Forms</i> of <i>The Unicode Standard, Version
    1.60 - * 4.0</i>).
    1.61 - * Note that in the following tables, the most significant bit appears in the
    1.62 - * far left-hand column.
    1.63 - * <p>
    1.64 - * All characters in the range <code>'&#92;u0001'</code> to
    1.65 - * <code>'&#92;u007F'</code> are represented by a single byte:
