Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
`static class`	`DataInputPlus.DataInputStreamPlus`	Wrapper around an InputStream that provides no buffering but can decode varints TODO: probably shouldn't use DataInputStream as a parent

- Method Detail
  - readVInt
```
default long readVInt()
               throws java.io.IOException
```
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - readUnsignedVInt
```
default long readUnsignedVInt()
                       throws java.io.IOException
```
    Think hard before opting for an unsigned encoding. Is this going to bite someone because some day they might need to pass in a sentinel value using negative numbers? Is the risk worth it to save a few bytes? Signed, not a fan of unsigned values in protocols and formats
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - skipBytes
```
int skipBytes(int n)
       throws java.io.IOException
```
    Always skips the requested number of bytes, unless EOF is reached
    
    Specified by:
    
    skipBytes in interface java.io.DataInput
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - number of bytes to skip
    
    Returns:
    
    number of bytes skipped
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - skipBytesFully
```
default void skipBytesFully(int n)
                     throws java.io.IOException
```
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
