Method skipUpTo

output/java_guava/1.4.17/ByteStreams.java:800–818

Discards up to n bytes of data from the input stream. This method will block until either the full amount has been skipped or until the end of the stream is reached, whichever happens first. Returns the total number of bytes skipped.

        // Do a buffered read since skipSafely could return 0 repeatedly, for example if
        // in.available() always returns 0 (the default).
