98N/AA package of the Java Image I/O API dealing with low-level I/O from
1089N/Afiles and streams.

1089N/A
1089N/AThe <code>ImageInputStream</code> interface unifies streaming and
911N/Afile-based operations. An abstract base class,
98N/A<code>ImageInputStreamImpl</code> is provided to simplify writing
98N/Aa new <code>ImageInputStream</code> class. Concrete implementation
98N/Aclasses (<code>FileImageInputStream</code>,
98N/A<code>FileCacheImageInputStream</code>, and
98N/A<code>MemoryCacheImageInputStream</code>) are provided that allow
156N/Ainput to come from a <code>File</code> or <code>InputStream</code>
493N/Awith or without the use of a temporary cache file.
493N/A
98N/A<p>
98N/A
705N/AThe <code>ImageOutputStream</code> interface performs an analogous
1089N/Afunction for output. An abstract base class,
98N/A<code>ImageOutputStreamImpl</code> is provided, along with
606N/Aconcrete implementation classes (<code>FileImageOutputStream</code>,
606N/A<code>FileCacheImageOutputStream</code>, and
606N/A<code>MemoryCacheImageOutputStream</code>) are provided that allow
1089N/Aoutput to go to a <code>File</code> or <code>OutputStream</code> with
1089N/Aor without the use of a temporary cache file.
1089N/A
493N/A<p>
493N/A
493N/AThe <code>IIOByteBuffer</code> class provides an alternative way to
493N/Aperform reads of sequences of bytes that reduces the amount of
98N/Ainternal data copying.
