Start NSInputStream at certain location

Question

I have an input stream and I want to start reading bytes at a certain location. Is there any way I can do that? Say I want to read 1024 bytes at location n, n being the nth byte in the file. How do I achieve this? I've looked at the documentation and there doesn't appear to be way to do this.

Answer 1

You need to use the below api for reading :-

+ (id)inputStreamWithFileAtPath:(NSString *)path

- (NSInteger)read:(uint8_t *)buffer maxLength:(NSUInteger)len;
