This class is the superclass of all classes that filter output streams. These streams sit on top of an already existing output stream (the underlying output stream) which it uses as its basic sink of data, but possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional functionality.
The class FilterOutputStream
itself simply overrides
all methods of OutputStream
with versions that pass
all requests to the underlying output stream. Subclasses of
FilterOutputStream
may further override some of these
methods as well as provide additional methods and fields.
Field Summary | |
protected OutputStream |
out
The underlying output stream to be filtered. |
Constructor Summary | |
FilterOutputStream(OutputStream out)
Creates an output stream filter built on top of the specified underlying output stream. |
Method Summary | |
void |
close()
Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream. |
void |
flush()
Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out to the stream. |
void |
write(byte[] b)
Writes b.length bytes to this output stream. |
void |
write(byte[] b,
int off,
int len)
Writes len bytes from the specified
byte array starting at offset off to
this output stream. |
void |
write(int b)
Writes the specified byte to this output stream. |

public void write(int b) throws IOException
byte
to this output stream.
The write
method of FilterOutputStream
calls the write
method of its underlying output stream,
that is, it performs out.write(b).
Implements the abstract write method of OutputStream.
write
in class OutputStream
b
- the byte
.
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs.public void write(byte[] b) throws IOException
b.length
bytes to this output stream.
The write
method of FilterOutputStream
calls its write
method of three arguments with the
arguments b
, 0
, and
b.length
.
Note that this method does not call the one-argument
write
method of its underlying stream with the single
argument b
.

b
- the data to be written.
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs.write(byte[], int, int)
public void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
len
bytes from the specified
byte
array starting at offset off
to
this output stream.
The write
method of FilterOutputStream
calls the write
method of one argument on each
byte
to output.
Note that this method does not call the write
method
of its underlying input stream with the same arguments. Subclasses
of FilterOutputStream
should provide a more efficient
implementation of this method.

b
- the data.off
- the start offset in the data.len
- the number of bytes to write.
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs.write(int)
public void flush() throws IOException
The flush
method of FilterOutputStream
calls the flush
method of its underlying output stream.

- if an I/O error occurs.out
public void close() throws IOException
The close
method of FilterOutputStream
calls its flush
method, and then calls the
close
method of its underlying output stream.
