Output Parameters
stream | java.io.InputStream Conditional. The InputStream. Returned only if the input parameter is stream. |

Usage Notes
Thepub.io:skip service uses the uses the Java methodInputStream.skip, which might skip some smaller number of bytes, possibly zero (0). This happens due to conditions such as reaching the end of file before n bytes have been skipped. For more information about the InputStream.skip method, see the Java documentation on the InputStream class.
Either of the optional input parameters, stream or reader, is required.
If both stream and reader input parameters are specified and if an exception occurs during the stream object usage, then the operations are not performed on the reader object also.
