Method Detail

basicClose

public void basicClose()
                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

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.

Specified by:
close in interface Closeable
Specified by:
close in class Writer
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.

Specified by:
flush in interface Flushable
Specified by:
flush in class Writer
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

write

public void write(char[] cbuf,
                  int off,
                  int len)
           throws IOException
Write a portion of an array of characters.

Specified by:
write in class Writer
Parameters:
cbuf - Array of characters
off - Offset from which to start writing characters
len - Number of characters to write
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs
