Sebb commented on IO-203:
-------------------------
Turns out that the basic skip(long) implementations already allow for looping
until read() returns -1, so they will skip as much as possible.
So only the skipFully() methods currently make sense, added.

> Add skipFully() method for InputStreams

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-203
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Utilities
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> The skip() method is not guaranteed to skip the requested number of bytes,
> even if there is more data available. This is particularly true of Buffered
> input streams.
> It would be useful to have a skip() method that keeps skipping until the
> required number of bytes have been read, or EOF was reached, in which case it
> should throw an Exception.
> [I'll add a patch later.]
