A transparent stream that updates the associated message digest using the bits going through the stream.

To complete the message digest computation, call one of the`digest`methods on the associated message digest after your calls to one of this digest input stream's #read() methods.

It is possible to turn this stream on or off (see[on](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/security/DigestInputStream#on(kotlin.Boolean))). When it is on, a call to one of the`read`methods results in an update on the message digest. But when it is off, the message digest is not updated. The default is for the stream to be on.

Note that digest objects can compute only one digest (see[MessageDigest](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/security/MessageDigest)), so that in order to compute intermediate digests, a caller should retain a handle onto the digest object, and clone it for each digest to be computed, leaving the original digest untouched.

This method simply performs`in.reset()`. Stream marks are intended to be used in situations where you need to read ahead a little to see what's in the stream. Often this is most easily done by invoking some general parser. If the stream is of the type handled by the parse, it just chugs along happily. If the stream is not of that type, the parser should toss an exception when it fails. If this happens within readlimit bytes, it allows the outer code to reset the stream and try another parser. <br /> | | [Long](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-long/index.html)       | [skip](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/io/FilterInputStream.html#skip(kotlin.Long))`(`n:` `[Long](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-long/index.html)`)` <br /> Skips over and discards`n`bytes of data from the input stream. The`skip`method may, for a variety of reasons, end up skipping over some smaller number of bytes, possibly`0`. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned. This method simply performs`in.skip(n)`. <br />                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          | ||

When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return zero.

This method blocks until the requested number of bytes has been read, end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. This method does not close the input stream. The length of the returned array equals the number of bytes read from the stream. If`len`is zero, then no bytes are read and an empty byte array is returned. Otherwise, up to`len`bytes are read from the stream. Fewer than`len`bytes may be read if end of stream is encountered. When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return an empty byte array. Note that this method is intended for simple cases where it is convenient to read the specified number of bytes into a byte array. The total amount of memory allocated by this method is proportional to the number of bytes read from the stream which is bounded by`len`. Therefore, the method may be safely called with very large values of`len`provided sufficient memory is available.

### on

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
open fun on(on: Boolean): Unit
```

Turns the digest function on or off. The default is on. When it is on, a call to one of the`read`methods results in an update on the message digest. But when it is off, the message digest is not updated.

### read

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
open fun read(): Int
```

Reads a byte, and updates the message digest (if the digest function is on). That is, this method reads a byte from the input stream, blocking until the byte is actually read. If the digest function is on (see[on](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/security/DigestInputStream#on(kotlin.Boolean))), this method will then call`update`on the message digest associated with this stream, passing it the byte read.

### read

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
open fun read(
    b: ByteArray!, 
    off: Int, 
    len: Int
): Int
```

Reads into a byte array, and updates the message digest (if the digest function is on). That is, this method reads up to`len`bytes from the input stream into the array`b`, starting at offset`off`. This method blocks until the data is actually read. If the digest function is on (see[on](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/security/DigestInputStream#on(kotlin.Boolean))), this method will then call`update`on the message digest associated with this stream, passing it the data.
