Do I need to close the input stream manually after using IOUtils.toString(input) of commons-io?

Viewed 13191

Commons-IO has an IOUtils.toString(inputStream) method, which can read all content from an input stream:

InputStream input = getInputStream();
String content = IOUtils.toString(input);

My question is shall I close the input stream manually after using it?

I thought IOUtils may close it since it has read all the content, but I can't find that in the source code.
