- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### LineColumnReader

          public LineColumnReader(java.io.Reader reader)

      Constructor wrapping a `Reader` (`FileReader`, `FileReader`, `InputStreamReader`, etc.)
      Parameters:
        `reader` - the reader to wrap

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### mark

          public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
                    throws java.io.IOException

      Marks the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will attempt to reposition the stream to this point.
      Overrides:
        `mark` in class `java.io.BufferedReader`
      Parameters:
        `readAheadLimit` - Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. An attempt to reset the stream after reading characters up to this limit or beyond may fail. A limit value larger than the size of the input buffer will cause a new buffer to be allocated whose size is no smaller than limit. Therefore large values should be used with care.
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### reset

          public void reset()
                     throws java.io.IOException

      Resets the stream to the most recent mark.
      Overrides:
        `reset` in class `java.io.BufferedReader`
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### read

          public int read()
                   throws java.io.IOException

      Reads a single character.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `java.io.BufferedReader`
      Returns:
        The character read, as an integer in the range 0 to 65535 (0x00-0xffff), or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### read

          public int read(char[] chars,
                          int startOffset,
                          int length)
                   throws java.io.IOException

      Reads characters into a portion of an array.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `java.io.BufferedReader`
      Parameters:
        `chars` - Destination array of char
        `startOffset` - Offset at which to start storing characters
        `length` - Maximum number of characters to read
      Returns:
        an exception if an error occurs
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### readLine

          public java.lang.String readLine()
                                    throws java.io.IOException

      Reads a line of text. A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed.
      Overrides:
        `readLine` in class `java.io.BufferedReader`
      Returns:
        A String containing the contents of the line, not including any line-termination characters, or null if the end of the stream has been reached
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### skip

          public long skip(long toSkip)
                    throws java.io.IOException

      Skips characters.
      Overrides:
        `skip` in class `java.io.BufferedReader`
      Parameters:
        `toSkip` - the number of characters to skip
      Returns:
        The number of characters actually skipped
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### read

          public int read(char[] chars)
                   throws java.io.IOException

      Reads characters into an array. This method will block until some input is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `java.io.Reader`
      Parameters:
        `chars` - Destination buffer
      Returns:
        The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### read

          public int read(java.nio.CharBuffer buffer)

      Not implemented.
      Specified by:
        `read` in interface `java.lang.Readable`
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `java.io.Reader`
      Parameters:
        `buffer` - Destination buffer
      Returns:
        The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
      Throws:
        `java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException` - as the method is not implemented

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws java.io.IOException

      Closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with it. Once the stream has been closed, further read(), ready(), mark(), reset(), or skip() invocations will throw an IOException. Closing a previously closed stream has no effect.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `java.io.Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `java.lang.AutoCloseable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `java.io.BufferedReader`
