Method Detail
writeObject
void writeObject(Object obj) throws IOException
Write an object to the underlying storage or stream. The class that implements this interface defines how the object is written.
- Parameters:
-
obj
- the object to be written - Throws:
-
IOException
- Any of the usual Input/Output related exceptions.
write
void write(int b) throws IOException
Writes a byte. This method will block until the byte is actually written.
- Specified by:
-
write
in interfaceDataOutput
- Parameters:
-
b
- the byte - Throws:
-
IOException
- If an I/O error has occurred.
write
void write(byte[] b) throws IOException
Writes an array of bytes. This method will block until the bytes are actually written.
- Specified by:
-
write
in interfaceDataOutput
- Parameters:
-
b
- the data to be written - Throws:
-
IOException
- If an I/O error has occurred.
write
void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
Writes a sub array of bytes.
- Specified by:
-
write
in interfaceDataOutput
- Parameters:
-
b
- the data to be written -
off
- the start offset in the data -
len
- the number of bytes that are written - Throws:
-
IOException
- If an I/O error has occurred.
flush
void flush() throws IOException
Flushes the stream. This will write any buffered output bytes.
- Throws:
-
IOException
- If an I/O error has occurred.
close
void close() throws IOException
Closes the stream. This method must be called to release any resources associated with the stream.
- Specified by:
-
close
in interfaceAutoCloseable
- Throws:
-
IOException
- If an I/O error has occurred.
