This class works in a similar way to FilterOutputStream, but instead of filtering for one output stream, this class forwards calls to all of its subjects.
If a stream throws an IOException for a given call, the other streams still going to be called for that operation, and the exception will be propagated to the caller after all of the stream calls finished.
This class closes the output streams it was constructed with.
This stream class is not thread safe.
protected | Creates a new instance without any subject streams. |
public | MultiplexOutputStream( Creates a new instance for the given streams. |
public | MultiplexOutputStream( Creates a new instance for the given streams. |
public void | close() Closes this output stream and releases any system resources
associated with this stream. |
public void | flush() Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes
to be written out. |
public void | write( Writes the specified byte to this output stream. |
public void | write( Writes the bytes contained in the argument byte array to the byte sink. |
public void | write( Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array
to this output stream. |
public void | write( Writes len bytes from the specified byte array
starting at offset off to this output stream. |
The calls to this output stream will do nothing.
If the argument contains any null
values, the stream may throw a NullPointerException later.
Any modifications to the argument collection will not propagate back to this instance.
null
.
If the argument contains any null
values, the stream may throw a NullPointerException later.
Any modifications to the argument array will not propagate back to this instance.
null
.close
is that it closes the output stream. A closed stream cannot perform
output operations and cannot be reopened.
The close
method of OutputStream
does nothing.
flush
is
that calling it is an indication that, if any bytes previously
written have been buffered by the implementation of the output
stream, such bytes should immediately be written to their
intended destination.
If the intended destination of this stream is an abstraction provided by the underlying operating system, for example a file, then flushing the stream guarantees only that bytes previously written to the stream are passed to the operating system for writing; it does not guarantee that they are actually written to a physical device such as a disk drive.
The flush
method of OutputStream
does nothing.
write
is that one byte is written
to the output stream. The byte to be written is the eight
low-order bits of the argument b
. The 24
high-order bits of b
are ignored.
Subclasses of OutputStream
must provide an
implementation for this method.
byte
.IOException
may be thrown if the
output stream has been closed.
This method works similarly to OutputStream.write(
b.length
bytes from the specified byte array
to this output stream. The general contract for write(b)
is that it should have exactly the same effect as the call
write(b, 0, b.length)
.len
bytes from the specified byte array
starting at offset off
to this output stream. The general contract for write(b, off, len)
is that
some of the bytes in the array b
are written to the
output stream in order; element b[off]
is the first
byte written and b[off+len-1]
is the last byte written
by this operation.
The write
method of OutputStream
calls
the write method of one argument on each of the bytes to be
written out. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and
provide a more efficient implementation.
If b
is null
, a
NullPointerException
is thrown.
If off
is negative, or len
is negative, or
off+len
is greater than the length of the array
b
, then an IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.
IOException
is thrown if the output
stream is closed.
