* Reads in a string that has been encoded using a modified UTF-8 format.
* The general contract of readUTF
* is that it reads a representation of a Unicode
* character string encoded in Java modified
* UTF-8 format; this string of characters
* is then returned as a String.
*
* First, two bytes are read and used to
* construct an unsigned 16-bit integer in
* exactly the manner of the readUnsignedShort
* method . This integer value is called the
* UTF length and specifies the number
* of additional bytes to be read. These bytes
* are then converted to characters by considering
* them in groups. The length of each group
* is computed from the value of the first
* byte of the group. The byte following a
* group, if any, is the first byte of the
* next group.
*
* If the first byte of a group
* matches the bit pattern 0xxxxxxx
* (where x means "may be 0
* or 1"), then the group consists
* of just that byte. The byte is zero-extended
* to form a character.
*
* If the first byte
* of a group matches the bit pattern 110xxxxx,
* then the group consists of that byte a
* and a second byte b. If there
* is no byte b (because byte
* a was the last of the bytes
* to be read), or if byte b does
* not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx,
* then a UTFDataFormatException
* is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted
* to the character:
*
(char)(((a& 0x1F) << 6) | (b & 0x3F))
* 1110xxxx,
* then the group consists of that byte a
* and two more bytes b and c.
* If there is no byte c (because
* byte a was one of the last
* two of the bytes to be read), or either
* byte b or byte c
* does not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx,
* then a UTFDataFormatException
* is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted
* to the character:*
* (char)(((a & 0x0F) << 12) | ((b & 0x3F) << 6) | (c & 0x3F))
* 1111xxxx or the pattern
* 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException
* is thrown.
*
* If end of file is encountered
* at any time during this entire process,
* then an EOFException is thrown.
*
* After every group has been converted to
* a character by this process, the characters
* are gathered, in the same order in which
* their corresponding groups were read from
* the input stream, to form a String,
* which is returned.
*
