java.io.SequenceInputStreamSequenceInputStream represents the logical concatenation of other input
streams. It starts out with an ordered collection of input streams and reads from
the first one until end of file is reached, whereupon it reads from the second one,
and so on, until end of file is reached on the last of the contained input streams.

22.8.1 public
SequenceInputStream(Enumeration e)
This constructor initializes a newly created SequenceInputStream by remembering
the argument, which must be an Enumeration (§21.1) that produces
objects whose run-time type is InputStream (§22.3). The input streams that are
produced by the enumeration will be read, in order, to provide the bytes to be read
from this SequenceInputStream. After each input stream from the enumeration
is exhausted, it is closed by calling its close method.
22.8.2 public
SequenceInputStream(InputStream s1,
InputStream s2)
This constructor initializes a newly created SequenceInputStream by remembering
the two arguments, which will be read in order, first s1 and then s2, to provide
the bytes to be read from this SequenceInputStream.
22.8.3 public int
read() throws IOException
Implements the read method of InputStream (§22.3.1).
22.8.4 public int
read(byte[] buf, int pos, int len)
throws IOException, NullPointerException, IndexOutOfBoundsException
Overrides the read method of InputStream (§22.3.3).
22.8.5 public void
close() throws IOException
This SequenceInputStream is closed. A closed SequenceInputStream cannot
perform input operations and cannot be reopened.
If this stream was created from an enumeration, all remaining elements are requested from the enumeration and closed before the close method returns.
Overrides the close method of InputStream (§22.3.6).
