Remarks

Reads a signed 64-bit integer from this file. This method reads eight bytes from the file, starting at the current file pointer. If the bytes read, in order, are b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, and b8, where: <blockquote>

0 &lt;= b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8 &lt;=255,

</blockquote>

then the result is equal to: <blockquote>

((long)b1 &lt;&lt; 56) + ((long)b2 &lt;&lt; 48)
                + ((long)b3 &lt;&lt; 40) + ((long)b4 &lt;&lt; 32)
                + ((long)b5 &lt;&lt; 24) + ((long)b6 &lt;&lt; 16)
                + ((long)b7 &lt;&lt; 8) + b8

</blockquote>

This method blocks until the eight bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.
