Marks the current position in this input stream. A subsequent call to the {@link #reset()} method repositions this stream at the last marked position

Tests if this stream supports the {@link #mark(int)} and {@link #reset()} methods. <P>This method will just delegate the test to the underlying {@lin

Sets this stream bit position, if it is based on a {@link RepositionableStream} or on a {@link FileChannel}. <P>Given an underlying stream that impl

Reads the next bit and returns a boolean representing it. @return true if the next bit is 1, otherwise 0.

Returns the number of bits read from this bit stream. @return the number of bits read so far.

Reads a natural number in &delta; coding. @return the next &delta;-encoded natural number. @see OutputBitStream#writeDelta(int) @see #skipDeltas(int)

Reads a given amount of &delta;-coded natural numbers. <p>This method should be significantly quicker than iterating <code>n</code> times on {@link #
