22.2.6

public void writeShort(int v) throws IOException

The general contract for

writeShort

 is that two bytes are written to the output

stream to represent the value of the argument. The byte values to be written, in the

order shown, are:

(byte)(0xff & (v >> 8))

(byte)(0xff & v)

The bytes written by this method may be read by the

readShort

 method of

interface

DataInput

 ( 22.1.7), which will then return a

short

 equal to

(short)v

.

22.2.7

public void writeChar(int v) throws IOException

The general contract for

writeChar

 is that two bytes are written to the output

stream to represent the value of the argument. The byte values to be written, in the

order shown, are:

(byte)(0xff & (v >> 8))

(byte)(0xff & v)

The bytes written by this method may be read by the

readChar

 method of

interface

DataInput

 ( 22.1.9), which will then return a

char

 equal to

(char)v

.

22.2.8

public void writeInt(int v) throws IOException

The general contract for

writeInt

 is that four bytes are written to the output

stream to represent the value of the argument. The byte values to be written, in the

order shown, are:

(byte)(0xff & (v >> 24))

(byte)(0xff & (v >> 16))

(byte)(0xff & (v >>

8))

(byte)(0xff & v)

The bytes written by this method may be read by the

readInt

 method of

interface

DataInput

 ( 22.1.10), which will then return an

int

 equal to

v

.

22.2.9

public void writeLong(long v) throws IOException

The general contract for

writeLong

 is that four bytes are written to the output

stream to represent the value of the argument. The byte values to be written, in the

order shown, are:
