- - ### Uses of FilterInputStream in java.io

    Subclasses of FilterInputStream in java.io
    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `class` | `BufferedInputStream` A `BufferedInputStream` adds functionality to another input stream-namely, the ability to buffer the input and to support the `mark` and `reset` methods.
    `class` | `DataInputStream` A data input stream lets an application read primitive Java data types from an underlying input stream in a machine-independent way.
    `class` | `LineNumberInputStream` Deprecated. This class incorrectly assumes that bytes adequately represent characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to operate on character streams is via the new character-stream classes, which include a class for counting line numbers.
    `class` | `PushbackInputStream` A `PushbackInputStream` adds functionality to another input stream, namely the ability to "push back" or "unread" one byte.
