  - read
```
public static int read(InputStream in,
                       byte[] b,
                       int off,
                       int len)
                throws IOException
```
    Reads some bytes from an input stream and stores them into the buffer array b. This method blocks until len bytes of input data have been read into the array, or end of file is detected. The number of bytes read is returned, possibly zero. Does not close the stream.
    A caller can detect EOF if the number of bytes read is less than len. All subsequent calls on the same stream will return zero.
    
    If b is null, a NullPointerException is thrown. If off is negative, or len is negative, or off+len is greater than the length of the array b, then an IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown. If len is zero, then no bytes are read. Otherwise, the first byte read is stored into element b[off], the next one into b[off+1], and so on. The number of bytes read is, at most, equal to len.
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - the input stream to read from
    
    b - the buffer into which the data is read
    
    off - an int specifying the offset into the data
    
    len - an int specifying the number of bytes to read
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes read
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error occurs
