Both conditions of the statement are intended to be met. If the stream is at 
its end then

        if (pos >= count) {
            return -1;
        }

will cause `-1` to be returned because at end of stream the condition `pos >= 
count` is met.

The overridden method always returns `0` if `len == 0`.:


    public int read(byte b[], int off, int len) throws IOException {
        Objects.checkFromIndexSize(off, len, b.length);
        if (len == 0) {
            return 0;
        }
