RandomAccessFile (NetCDF-Java All API v5.9.1)

java.lang.Object
- ucar.unidata.io.RandomAccessFile

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.io.DataInput, java.io.DataOutput, java.lang.AutoCloseable, FileCacheable

Direct Known Subclasses:

InMemoryRandomAccessFile, MMapRandomAccessFile, RandomAccessDirectory, RemoteRandomAccessFile
```
@NotThreadSafe
public class RandomAccessFile
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.DataInput, java.io.DataOutput, FileCacheable, java.io.Closeable
```
A class intended as drop-in replacement for java.io.RandomAccessFile, with some notable extensions:
- Buffered I/O: instances of this class realise substantial speed increases over * java.io.RandomAccessFile through the use of buffering.
- Read String methods support user-specified Charsets (default UTF-8).
- Support for both big and little endiannness on reads and write: users may specify the byte order for I/O operations.
- Support for distributed file access through the RandomAccessDirectory subclass.
This is a subclass of Object, as it was not possible to subclass java.io.RandomAccessFile because many of the methods are final. However, if it is necessary to use RandomAccessFile and java.io.RandomAccessFile interchangeably, both classes implement the DataInput and DataOutput interfaces.

By Russ Rew, based on BufferedRandomAccessFile by Alex McManus, based on Sun's source code for java.io.RandomAccessFile. For Alex McManus version from which this derives, see his Freeware Java Classes.
Must be thread confined - that is, can only be used by a single thread at a time..

                                throws java.io.IOException
```
    Reads the next line of text from this file. This method successively reads bytes from the file, starting at the current file pointer, until it reaches a line terminator or the end of the file. Each byte is converted into a character by taking the byte's value for the lower eight bits of the character and setting the high eight bits of the character to zero. This method does not, therefore, support the full Unicode character set.
    A line of text is terminated by a carriage-return character ('\r'), a newline character ('\n'), a carriage-return character immediately followed by a newline character, or the end of the file. Line-terminating characters are discarded and are not included as part of the string returned.
    This method blocks until a newline character is read, a carriage return and the byte following it are read (to see if it is a newline), the end of the file is reached, or an exception is thrown.
    
    Specified by:
    
    readLine in interface java.io.DataInput
    
    Returns:

```
public final java.lang.String readUTF()
                               throws java.io.IOException
```
    Reads in a string from this file. The string has been encoded using a modified UTF-8 format.
    The first two bytes are read as if by readUnsignedShort. This value gives the number of following bytes that are in the encoded string, not the length of the resulting string. The following bytes are then interpreted as bytes encoding characters in the UTF-8 format and are converted into characters.
    This method blocks until all the bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.
    
    Specified by:
    
    readUTF in interface java.io.DataInput
    
    Returns:
    
    a Unicode string.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.EOFException - if this file reaches the end before reading all the bytes.
    
    java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
    
    java.io.UTFDataFormatException - if the bytes do not represent valid UTF-8 encoding of a Unicode string.
