A buffered character-input stream that keeps track of line numbers. This class defines methods
setLineNumber(int)
and
getLineNumber()
for setting and getting the current line number respectively.
By default, line numbering begins at 0. This number increments at every line terminator as the data is read, and can be changed with a call to setLineNumber(int)
. Note however, that setLineNumber(int)
does not actually change the current position in the stream; it only changes the value that will be returned by getLineNumber()
.
A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed.
