What part of those methods (they're typeset in lowercase btw) don't you understand?
Have you read the API documentation?

kind regards,

Mark and reset work in pairs: you mark a position and supply a buffersize, say n.
You can read at most n characters and optionally reset the reader to the marked
position. If you have read more than n characters the reset fails.

Skipping m characters is similar to reading m characters, they just aren't
returned. Skipping more than n characters causes the reset to fail too.
