public class WriterToASCI

extends Writer

This class writes ASCII to a byte stream as quickly as possible. For the moment it does not do buffering, though I reserve the right to do some buffering down the line if I can prove that it will be faster even if the output stream is buffered.

Constructor Summary

WriterToASCI(OutputStream os)
Create an unbuffered ASCII writer.

Method Summary

void	close() Close the stream, flushing it first.
void	flush() Flush the stream.
OutputStream	getOutputStream() Get the output stream where the events will be serialized to.
void	write(char[] chars, int start, int length) Write a portion of an array of characters.
void	write(int c) Write a single character.
void	write(String s) Write a string.

Constructor Detail

WriterToASCI

public WriterToASCI(OutputStream os)

Create an unbuffered ASCII writer.

Parameters:

os - The byte stream to write to.

Method Detail

write

public void write(char[] chars,
                  int start,
                  int length)
           throws IOException

Write a portion of an array of characters.

Parameters:

chars - Array of characters

start - Offset from which to start writing characters

length - Number of characters to write

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

IOException

write

public void write(int c)
           throws IOException

Write a single character. The character to be written is contained in the 16 low-order bits of the given integer value; the 16 high-order bits are ignored.

Subclasses that intend to support efficient single-character output should override this method.

Parameters:

c - int specifying a character to be written.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

write

public void write(String s)
           throws IOException

Write a string.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException

Flush the stream. If the stream has saved any characters from the various write() methods in a buffer, write them immediately to their intended destination. Then, if that destination is another character or byte stream, flush it. Thus one flush() invocation will flush all the buffers in a chain of Writers and OutputStreams.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Close the stream, flushing it first. Once a stream has been closed, further write() or flush() invocations will cause an IOException to be thrown. Closing a previously-closed stream, however, has no effect.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurs

getOutputStream

public OutputStream getOutputStream()

Get the output stream where the events will be serialized to.

Returns:

reference to the result stream, or null of only a writer was set.
