Method Detail

write

void write(byte[] b,
           int off,
           int len)
           throws IOException
Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to the underlying output stream. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by len.

Parameters:
b - the data.
off - the start offset in the data.
len - the number of bytes to write.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out

write

void write(int b)
           throws IOException
Writes the specified byte (the low eight bits of the argument b) to the underlying output stream. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 1.

Implements the write method of OutputStream.

Parameters:
b - the byte to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out

writeBoolean

void writeBoolean(boolean v)
                  throws IOException
Writes a boolean to the underlying output stream as a 1-byte value. The value true is written out as the value (byte)1; the value false is written out as the value (byte)0. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 1.

Parameters:
v - a boolean value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out

writeByte

void writeByte(int v)
               throws IOException
Writes out a byte to the underlying output stream as a 1-byte value. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 1.

Parameters:
v - a byte value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out

writeBytes

void writeBytes(String s)
                throws IOException
Throws:
IOException

writeChar

void writeChar(int v)
               throws IOException
Writes a char to the underlying output stream as a 2-byte value, high byte first. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 2.

Parameters:
v - a char value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out

writeChars

void writeChars(String s)
                throws IOException
Throws:
IOException

writeDouble

void writeDouble(double v)
                 throws IOException
Converts the double argument to a long using the doubleToLongBits method in class Double, and then writes that long value to the underlying output stream as an 8-byte quantity, high byte first. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 8.

Parameters:
v - a double value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out, Double.doubleToLongBits(double)

writeFloat

void writeFloat(float v)
                throws IOException
Converts the float argument to an int using the floatToIntBits method in class Float, and then writes that int value to the underlying output stream as a 4-byte quantity, high byte first. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 4.

Parameters:
v - a float value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out, Float.floatToIntBits(float)

writeInt

void writeInt(int v)
              throws IOException
Writes an int to the underlying output stream as four bytes, high byte first. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 4.

Parameters:
v - an int to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out

writeLong

void writeLong(long v)
               throws IOException
Writes a long to the underlying output stream as eight bytes, high byte first. In no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 8.

Parameters:
v - a long to be written.
