Method Details

read

boolean read()

Deprecated.

Starts the reader. This method is intended to be a blocking operation, i.e., it is assumed that reading has finished before this method returns. The method should indicate an error by the return value false. In asynchronous scenarios, the IPlugin.terminate(boolean) method can be used to initiate the termination of this method.

Returns:

true if reading was successful; false if an error occurred
