- ## Constructor Details

  - ### LineColumnReader

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

- ## Method Details

  - ### mark

    public void mark(int readAheadLimit) throws 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 `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:
      `IOException`

  - ### reset

    public void reset() throws IOException
    Resets the stream to the most recent mark.
    Overrides:
      `reset` in class `BufferedReader`
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### read

    public int read() throws IOException
    Reads a single character.
    Overrides:
      `read` in class `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:
      `IOException`

  - ### read

    public int read(char[] chars, int startOffset, int length) throws IOException
    Reads characters into a portion of an array.
    Overrides:
      `read` in class `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:
      `IOException`

  - ### readLine

    public String readLine() throws 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 `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:
      `IOException`

  - ### skip

    public long skip(long toSkip) throws IOException
    Skips characters.
    Overrides:
      `skip` in class `BufferedReader`
    Parameters:
      `toSkip` - the number of characters to skip
    Returns:
      The number of characters actually skipped
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### read

    public int read(char[] chars) throws 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 `Reader`
    Parameters:
      `chars` - Destination buffer
    Returns:
      The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### read

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

  - ### close

    public void close() throws 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 `AutoCloseable`
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `Closeable`
    Overrides:
      `close` in class `BufferedReader`
    Throws:
      `IOException`
