Class BufferedWriter

public class BufferedWriter extends Writer

This class accumulates chars written in a buffer instead of immediately writing the data to the underlying output sink. The chars are instead as one large block when the buffer is filled, or when the stream is closed or explicitly flushed. This mode operation can provide a more efficient mechanism for writing versus doing numerous small unbuffered writes.

Constructor Summary
	BufferedWriter(Writer out) This method initializes a new `BufferedWriter` instance that will write to the specified subordinate `Writer` and which will use a default buffer size of 8192 chars.
	BufferedWriter(Writer out, int size) This method initializes a new `BufferedWriter` instance that will write to the specified subordinate `Writer` and which will use the specified buffer size

Method Summary
void	close() This method flushes any remaining buffered chars then closes the underlying output stream.
void	flush() This method causes any currently buffered chars to be immediately written to the underlying output stream.
void	newLine() This method writes out a system depedent line separator sequence.
void	write(int oneChar) This method writes a single char of data.
void	write(char[] buf, int offset, int len) This method writes `len` chars from the char array `buf` starting at position `offset` in the buffer.
void	write(String str, int offset, int len) This method writes `len` chars from the `String` `str` starting at position `offset` in the string.

Constructor Detail

BufferedWriter

public BufferedWriter(Writer out)

This method initializes a new BufferedWriter instance that will write to the specified subordinate Writer and which will use a default buffer size of 8192 chars.

Parameters: out The underlying Writer to write data to

BufferedWriter

public BufferedWriter(Writer out, int size)

This method initializes a new BufferedWriter instance that will write to the specified subordinate Writer and which will use the specified buffer size

Parameters: out The underlying Writer to write data to size The size of the internal buffer

Method Detail

close

public void close()

This method flushes any remaining buffered chars then closes the underlying output stream. Any further attempts to write to this stream may throw an exception

Throws: IOException If an error occurs.

flush

public void flush()

This method causes any currently buffered chars to be immediately written to the underlying output stream.
