## Interface InputSupplier<T>

- Deprecated.
  For `InputSupplier<? extends InputStream>`, use `ByteSource` instead. For `InputSupplier<? extends Reader>`, use `CharSource`. Implementations of `InputSupplier` that don't fall into one of those categories do not benefit from any of the methods in `common.io` and should use a different interface. This interface is scheduled for removal in December 2015.

      @Deprecated
      public interface InputSupplier<T>

  A factory for readable streams of bytes or characters.
  Since:
    1.0

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getInput

          T getInput()
                     throws java.io.IOException

      Deprecated.
      Returns an object that encapsulates a readable resource.

      Like `Iterable.iterator()`, this method may be called repeatedly to get independent channels to the same underlying resource.

      Where the channel maintains a position within the resource, moving that cursor within one channel should not affect the starting position of channels returned by other calls.

      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`
