Field Detail

written

protected int written
The number of bytes written to the data output stream so far. If this counter overflows, it will be wrapped to Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Constructor Detail

DataOutputStream

public DataOutputStream(OutputStream out)
Creates a new data output stream to write data to the specified underlying output stream. The counter written is set to zero.

Parameters:
out - the underlying output stream, to be saved for later use.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out
Method Detail

write

public 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.

Specified by:
write in interface DataOutput
Overrides:
write in class FilterOutputStream
Parameters:
b - the byte to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out

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 the underlying output stream. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by len.

Specified by:
write in interface DataOutput
Overrides:
write in class FilterOutputStream

Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException
Flushes this data output stream. This forces any buffered output bytes to be written out to the stream.

The flush method of DataOutputStream calls the flush method of its underlying output stream.

flush in class FilterOutputStream
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out, OutputStream.flush()

writeBoolean

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.

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

writeByte

public final 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.

Specified by:
writeByte in interface DataOutput
Parameters:
v - a byte value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

FilterOutputStream.out

writeShort

public final void writeShort(int v)
                      throws IOException
Writes a short to the underlying output stream as two bytes, high byte first. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by 2.

Specified by:
writeShort in interface DataOutput
Parameters:
v - a short to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeFloat

public final 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.

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

writeDouble

public final 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.

Specified by:
writeDouble in interface DataOutput
Parameters:

writeBytes

public final void writeBytes(String s)
                      throws IOException
Writes out the string to the underlying output stream as a sequence of bytes. Each character in the string is written out, in sequence, by discarding its high eight bits. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by the length of s.

Specified by:
writeBytes in interface DataOutput
Parameters:
s - a string of bytes to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
FilterOutputStream.out

writeChars

public final void writeChars(String s)
                      throws IOException
Writes a string to the underlying output stream as a sequence of characters. Each character is written to the data output stream as if by the writeChar method. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by twice the length of s.

Specified by:
writeChars in interface DataOutput
Parameters:
s - a String value to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
See Also:
writeChar(int), FilterOutputStream.out

writeUTF

public final void writeUTF(String str)
                    throws IOException
Writes a string to the underlying output stream using modified UTF-8 encoding in a machine-independent manner.

First, two bytes are written to the output stream as if by the writeShort method giving the number of bytes to follow. This value is the number of bytes actually written out, not the length of the string. Following the length, each character of the string is output, in sequence, using the modified UTF-8 encoding for the character. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by the total number of bytes written to the output stream. This will be at least two plus the length of str, and at most two plus thrice the length of str.

Specified by:
writeUTF in interface DataOutput
Parameters:
str - a string to be written.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

size

public final int size()
Returns the current value of the counter written, the number of bytes written to this data output stream so far. If the counter overflows, it will be wrapped to Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Returns:
the value of the written field.
See Also:
written
