public class MultiplexOutputStream extends OutputStream implements ByteSink
Output stream implementation that delegates the calls to it to multiple subject output streams.

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.

Constructors
protected
Creates a new instance without any subject streams.
public
Creates a new instance for the given streams.
public
Creates a new instance for the given streams.
Methods
public void
Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream.
public void
Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out.
public void
write(int b)
Writes the specified byte to this output stream.
public void
Writes the bytes contained in the argument byte array to the byte sink.
public void
write(byte[] b)
Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.
public void
write(byte[] b, int off, int len)
Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this output stream.
Creates a new instance without any subject streams.

The calls to this output stream will do nothing.

Creates a new instance for the given streams.

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.

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.

public void close() throws IOException
Overridden from: OutputStream
Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream. The general contract of 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.

IOExceptionif an I/O error occurs.
public void flush() throws IOException
Overridden from: OutputStream
Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out. The general contract of 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.

IOExceptionif an I/O error occurs.
public void write(int b) throws IOException
Overridden from: OutputStream
Writes the specified byte to this output stream. The general contract for 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.

bthe byte.
IOExceptionif an I/O error occurs. In particular, an IOException may be thrown if the output stream has been closed.
public void write(ByteArrayRegion buf) throws IOException
Overridden from: ByteSink
Writes the bytes contained in the argument byte array to the byte sink.

This method works similarly to OutputStream.write(byte[], int, int).

bufThe bytes to write.
IOExceptionIn case of I/O error.
public void write(byte[] b) throws IOException
Overridden from: OutputStream
Writes 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).
bthe data.
IOExceptionif an I/O error occurs.
public void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
Overridden from: OutputStream
Writes 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.
