public class DataOutputStream extends FilterOutputStream implements DataOutput
A data output stream lets an application write primitive Java data types to an output stream in a portable way. An application can then use a data input stream to read the data back in.- Since:

DataOutputStream
public DataOutputStream(OutputStream out)
Creates a new data output stream to write data to the specified underlying output stream. The counterwritten
is set to zero.- Parameters:

.- Specified by:
-
writeBytes
in interfaceDataOutput

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 thewriteChar
method. If no exception is thrown, the counterwritten
is incremented by twice the length ofs
.- Specified by:
-
writeChars
in interfaceDataOutput

-
s
- aString
value to be written. - Throws:

-
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 counterwritten
is incremented by the total number of bytes written to the output stream. This will be at least two plus the length ofstr
, and at most two plus thrice the length ofstr
.- Specified by:
-
writeUTF
in interfaceDataOutput
- 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 counterwritten
, 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:
-
