public final class BinaryIn
extends Object
```
Binary input. This class provides methods for reading in bits from a binary input stream, either one bit at a time (as a boolean), 8 bits at a time (as a byte or char), 16 bits at a time (as a short), 32 bits at a time (as an int or float), or 64 bits at a time (as a double or long).
The binary input stream can be from standard input, a filename, a URL name, a Socket, or an InputStream.
All primitive types are assumed to be represented using their standard Java representations, in big-endian (most significant byte first) order.
The client should not intermix calls to BinaryIn with calls to In; otherwise unexpected behavior will result.
