Class FilterOutputStream

Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, Flushable
Known Direct Subclasses:
BufferedOutputStream, CheckedOutputStream, CipherOutputStream, DataOutputStream, DeflaterOutputStream, DigestOutputStream, PrintStream
public class FilterOutputStream
extends OutputStream
This class is the common superclass of output stream classes that filter the output they write. These classes typically transform the data in some way prior to writing it out to another underlying OutputStream. This class simply overrides all the methods in OutputStream to redirect them to the underlying stream. Subclasses provide actual filtering.

Field Summary

protected OutputStream
out
This is the subordinate OutputStream that this class redirects its method calls to.

Constructor Summary

FilterOutputStream(OutputStream out)
This method initializes an instance of FilterOutputStream to write to the specified subordinate OutputStream.

Method Summary

void
close()
This method closes the underlying OutputStream.
void
flush()
This method attempt to flush all buffered output to be written to the underlying output sink.
void
write(byte[] buf)
This method writes all the bytes in the specified array to the underlying OutputStream.
void
write(byte[] buf, int offset, int len)
This method calls the write(int) method len times for all bytes from the array buf starting at index offset.
void
write(int b)
This method writes a single byte of output to the underlying OutputStream.

protected OutputStream out
This is the subordinate OutputStream that this class redirects its method calls to.

Constructor Details

FilterOutputStream

public FilterOutputStream(OutputStream out)
This method initializes an instance of FilterOutputStream to write to the specified subordinate OutputStream.
Parameters:
out - The OutputStream to write to

Method Details

close

public void close()
            throws IOException
This method closes the underlying OutputStream. Any further attempts to write to this stream may throw an exception.
Specified by:
close in interface Closeable
Overrides:
close in interface OutputStream
Throws:
IOException - If an error occurs

flush

public void flush()
            throws IOException
This method attempt to flush all buffered output to be written to the underlying output sink.
Specified by:
flush in interface Flushable
Overrides:
flush in interface OutputStream
Throws:
IOException - If an error occurs

write

public void write(byte[] buf)
            throws IOException
This method writes all the bytes in the specified array to the underlying OutputStream. It does this by calling the three parameter version of this method - write(byte[], int, int) in this class instead of writing to the underlying OutputStream directly. This allows most subclasses to avoid overriding this method.
Overrides:
write in interface OutputStream
Parameters:
buf - The byte array to write bytes from
Throws:
IOException - If an error occurs

write

public void write(byte[] buf,
                  int offset,
                  int len)
            throws IOException
This method calls the write(int) method len times for all bytes from the array buf starting at index offset. Subclasses should overwrite this method to get a more efficient implementation.
Overrides:
write in interface OutputStream
Parameters:
buf - The byte array to write bytes from
offset - The index into the array to start writing bytes from
len - The number of bytes to write
Throws:
IOException - If an error occurs

write

public void write(int b)
            throws IOException
This method writes a single byte of output to the underlying OutputStream.
Overrides:
write in interface OutputStream
Parameters:
b - The byte to write, passed as an int.
Throws:
IOException - If an error occurs
