> [IO] Readfully() That Returns A Byte Array
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-410
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-410
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Utilities
> Reporter: BELUGA BEHR
> Priority: Minor
>
> I am looking for an implementation withe the following method signature:
> {code}
> public static byte[] readFully(final InputStream input, long length) throws
> IOException
> {code}
> I have needed this when parsing different protocols. For example, if the
> protocol has a fixed-length header with 40 bytes, I may just want to
> instantiate the small buffer with the entire header and then pick it apart.
> In my implementation of my business logic, if the header cannot be read in
> then it should throw an exception for being malformed.
