Class PushbackInputStream

A PushbackInputStream adds the ability to "push back" or "unread" one byte. This is useful in situtation where it is convenient for a fragement of code to read an indefinite number of bytes that are delimited by a particular byte valur. After reading the terminating byte, the code fragment can "unread" it, so that the next read operation on the input stream will reread the byte that was pushed back.
