Constructor Detail

### HeadFilter

    public HeadFilter()

  Constructor for "dummy" instances.

  See Also:
    `BaseFilterReader.BaseFilterReader()`

### HeadFilter

    public HeadFilter(java.io.Reader in)

  Creates a new filtered reader.

  Parameters:
    `in` - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be `null`.

Method Detail

### read

    public int read()
             throws java.io.IOException

  Returns the next character in the filtered stream. If the desired number of lines have already been read, the resulting stream is effectively at an end. Otherwise, the next character from the underlying stream is read and returned.

  Overrides:
    `read` in class `java.io.FilterReader`
  Returns:
    the next character in the resulting stream, or -1 if the end of the resulting stream has been reached
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if the underlying stream throws an IOException during reading

### setLines

    public void setLines(long lines)

  Sets the number of lines to be returned in the filtered stream.

  Parameters:
    `lines` - the number of lines to be returned in the filtered stream

### setSkip

    public void setSkip(long skip)

  Sets the number of lines to be skipped in the filtered stream.

  Parameters:
    `skip` - the number of lines to be skipped in the filtered stream

### chain

    public java.io.Reader chain(java.io.Reader rdr)

  Creates a new HeadFilter using the passed in Reader for instantiation.

  Specified by:
    `chain` in interface `ChainableReader`
  Parameters:
    `rdr` - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be `null`.
  Returns:
    a new filter based on this configuration, but filtering the specified reader
