     * A utility method that may be used by readers to test the

     * as the reader knows both the number of bands of the source
     * image as it exists in the input stream, and the number of bands
     * of the destination image that being written.
     *
     * <p> The method retrieves the source and destination band
     * setting arrays from param using the <code>getSourceBands</code>
     * and <code>getDestinationBands</code>methods (or considers them
     * to be <code>null</code> if <code>param</code> is
     * <code>null</code>).  If the source band setting array is
     * <code>null</code>, it is considered to be equal to the array
     * <code>{ 0, 1, ..., numSrcBands - 1 }</code>, and similarly for
     * the destination band setting array.
     *
     * <p> The method then tests that both arrays are equal in length,
     * and that neither array contains a value larger than the largest
     * available band index.
     *
     * <p> Any failure results in an
     * <code>IllegalArgumentException</code> being thrown; success
     * results in the method returning silently.
     *
     * @param param the <code>ImageReadParam</code> being used to read
     * the image.

     * int the input source.

     * being written.
     *
     * @exception IllegalArgumentException if <code>param</code>
     * contains an invalid specification of a source and/or
     * destination band subset.
