All other self-calls to a `read` method are to the three-arg abstract method:
$ grep read( src/java.base/share/classes/java/io/Reader.java | grep -v public |
grep -v *
nread = this.read(cbuf, off, rem);
nread = read(cbuf, 0, len);
if (read(cb, 0, 1) == -1)
return read(cbuf, 0, cbuf.length);
while ((nread = read(cbuf, 0, cbuf.length)) != -1) {
int nc = read(skipBuffer, 0, (int)Math.min(r, nn));
while ((nRead = read(buffer, 0, TRANSFER_BUFFER_SIZE)) >= 0) {
