* byte <code>a was one of the last two of the bytes to be
* read), or either byte <code>b or byte c
* does not match the bit pattern <code>10xxxxxx, then a
* <code>UTFDataFormatException is thrown. Otherwise, the

*
* <p> If end of file is encountered at any time during this
* entire process, then an <code>java.io.EOFException is thrown.
