BufferedOutputStream (Java Platform SE 7 ) (original) (raw)

• • java.io.OutputStream
  • • java.io.FilterOutputStream
      • • java.io.BufferedOutputStream

• All Implemented Interfaces:
  Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable

public class BufferedOutputStream
extends FilterOutputStream
The class implements a buffered output stream. By setting up such an output stream, an application can write bytes to the underlying output stream without necessarily causing a call to the underlying system for each byte written.
Since:
JDK1.0

• • Field Detail

     * #### buf  
     protected byte[] buf  
     The internal buffer where data is stored.  
     * #### count  
     protected int count  
     The number of valid bytes in the buffer. This value is always in the range  
     0  
      through  
     buf.length  
     ; elements  
     buf\[0\]  
      through  
     buf\[count-1\]  
      contain valid byte data.  

  • Constructor Detail

    * #### BufferedOutputStream  
    public BufferedOutputStream([OutputStream](../../java/io/OutputStream.html "class in java.io") out)  
    Creates a new buffered output stream to write data to the specified underlying output stream.  
    Parameters:  
    `out` \- the underlying output stream.  
    * #### BufferedOutputStream  
    public BufferedOutputStream([OutputStream](../../java/io/OutputStream.html "class in java.io") out,  
                        int size)  
    Creates a new buffered output stream to write data to the specified underlying output stream with the specified buffer size.  
    Parameters:  
    `out` \- the underlying output stream.  
    `size` \- the buffer size.  
    Throws:  
    `[IllegalArgumentException](../../java/lang/IllegalArgumentException.html "class in java.lang")` \- if size <= 0.  

  • Method Detail

    * #### write  
    public void write(int b)  
               throws [IOException](../../java/io/IOException.html "class in java.io")  
    Writes the specified byte to this buffered output stream.  
    **Overrides:**  
    `[write](../../java/io/FilterOutputStream.html#write%28int%29)` in class `[FilterOutputStream](../../java/io/FilterOutputStream.html "class in java.io")`  
    Parameters:  
    `b` \- the byte to be written.  
    Throws:  
    `[IOException](../../java/io/IOException.html "class in java.io")` \- if an I/O error occurs.  
    * #### write  
    public void write(byte[] b,  
             int off,  
             int len)  
               throws [IOException](../../java/io/IOException.html "class in java.io")  
    Writes `len` bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset `off` to this buffered output stream.  
     Ordinarily this method stores bytes from the given array into this stream's buffer, flushing the buffer to the underlying output stream as needed. If the requested length is at least as large as this stream's buffer, however, then this method will flush the buffer and write the bytes directly to the underlying output stream. Thus redundant`BufferedOutputStream`s will not copy data unnecessarily.  
    **Overrides:**  
    `[write](../../java/io/FilterOutputStream.html#write%28byte[],%20int,%20int%29)` in class `[FilterOutputStream](../../java/io/FilterOutputStream.html "class in java.io")`  
    Parameters:  
    `b` \- the data.  
    `off` \- the start offset in the data.  
    `len` \- the number of bytes to write.  
    Throws:  
    `[IOException](../../java/io/IOException.html "class in java.io")` \- if an I/O error occurs.  
    See Also:  
    [FilterOutputStream.write(int)](../../java/io/FilterOutputStream.html#write%28int%29)  
    * #### flush  
    public void flush()  
               throws [IOException](../../java/io/IOException.html "class in java.io")  
    Flushes this buffered output stream. This forces any buffered output bytes to be written out to the underlying output stream.  
    **Specified by:**  
    `[flush](../../java/io/Flushable.html#flush%28%29)` in interface `[Flushable](../../java/io/Flushable.html "interface in java.io")`  
    **Overrides:**  
    `[flush](../../java/io/FilterOutputStream.html#flush%28%29)` in class `[FilterOutputStream](../../java/io/FilterOutputStream.html "class in java.io")`  
    Throws:  
    `[IOException](../../java/io/IOException.html "class in java.io")` \- if an I/O error occurs.

    [FilterOutputStream.out](../../java/io/FilterOutputStream.html#out)
