THE PACKAGE JAVA.IO

java.io.OutputStream

22.15

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.

If the byte cannot be written for any reason, an

IOException

 is thrown. In

particular, an

IOException

 is thrown if the output stream has been closed

( 22.15.5).

The

write(b, off, len)

 method for class

OutputStream

 simply calls the

method

write

 ( 22.15.1) repeatedly, once for each byte in

b

 to be written.

22.15.4

public void flush() throws IOException

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.

The

flush

 method for class

OutputStream

 does nothing and simply returns.

22.15.5

public void close() throws IOException

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 for class

OutputStream

 does nothing and simply returns.
