Remarks
Reads a signed 16-bit number from this file. The method reads two bytes from this file, starting at the current file pointer. If the two bytes read, in order, are b1
and b2
, where each of the two values is between 0
and 255
, inclusive, then the result is equal to: <blockquote>
(short)((b1 << 8) | b2)
</blockquote>
This method blocks until the two bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.
