## Class TupleInput

- java.lang.Object
- - java.io.InputStream
  - - com.sleepycat.util.FastInputStream
    - - com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleInput

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable

      public class TupleInput
      extends FastInputStream

  An `InputStream` with `DataInput`-like methods for reading tuple fields. It is used by `TupleBinding`.

  This class has many methods that have the same signatures as methods in the `DataInput` interface. The reason this class does not implement `DataInput` is because it would break the interface contract for those methods because of data format differences.

    - #### TupleInput

          public TupleInput(byte[] buffer)

      Creates a tuple input object for reading a byte array of tuple data. A reference to the byte array will be kept by this object (it will not be copied) and therefore the byte array should not be modified while this object is in use.
      Parameters:
        `buffer` - is the byte array to be read and should contain data in tuple format.

      Creates a tuple input object for reading a byte array of tuple data at a given offset for a given length. A reference to the byte array will be kept by this object (it will not be copied) and therefore the byte array should not be modified while this object is in use.
      Parameters:
        `buffer` - is the byte array to be read and should contain data in tuple format.
        `offset` - is the byte offset at which to begin reading.
        `length` - is the number of bytes to be read.

    - #### TupleInput

          public TupleInput(TupleOutput output)
