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.

  • Field Summary

    Fields 
    Modifier and Type Field Description
    protected byte[] buf

    The internal buffer where data is stored.
    protected int count

    The number of valid bytes in the buffer.

  • Constructor Summary

    Constructors 
    Constructor Description
    BufferedOutputStream​(OutputStream out)

    Creates a new buffered output stream to write data to the specified underlying output stream.
    BufferedOutputStream​(OutputStream out, int size)

    Creates a new buffered output stream to write data to the specified underlying output stream with the specified buffer size.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type Method Description
    void flush()

    Flushes this buffered output stream.
    void write​(byte[] b, int off, int len)

    Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this buffered output stream.
    void write​(int b)

    Writes the specified byte to this buffered output stream.

  • Field Details

    • 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 Details

    • BufferedOutputStream

      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 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 - if size <= 0.

  • Method Details

    • write

      Writes the specified byte to this buffered output stream.

      Overrides:
      write in class FilterOutputStream
      Parameters:
      b - the byte to be written.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

    • write

      public void write​(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException

      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 BufferedOutputStreams will not copy data unnecessarily.

      Overrides:
      write in class FilterOutputStream
      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.

      FilterOutputStream.write(int)

    • flush

      Flushes this buffered output stream. This forces any buffered output bytes to be written out to the underlying output stream.

      Specified by:
      flush in interface Flushable
      Overrides:
      flush in class FilterOutputStream
      Throws:
      IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
