FilterOutputStream

open class FilterOutputStream : OutputStream

kotlin.Any
↳	java.io.OutputStream
	↳	java.io.FilterOutputStream

Known Direct Subclasses

Base64OutputStream, BufferedOutputStream, CheckedOutputStream, CipherOutputStream, DataOutputStream, DeflaterOutputStream, DigestOutputStream, InflaterOutputStream, PrintStream

Base64OutputStream	An OutputStream that does Base64 encoding on the data written to it, writing the resulting data to another OutputStream.
BufferedOutputStream	The class implements a buffered output stream.
CheckedOutputStream	An output stream that also maintains a checksum of the data being written.
CipherOutputStream	A CipherOutputStream is composed of an OutputStream and a Cipher so that write() methods first process the data before writing them out to the underlying OutputStream.
DataOutputStream	A data output stream lets an application write primitive Java data types to an output stream in a portable way.
DeflaterOutputStream	This class implements an output stream filter for compressing data in the "deflate" compression format.
DigestOutputStream	A transparent stream that updates the associated message digest using the bits going through the stream.
InflaterOutputStream	Implements an output stream filter for uncompressing data stored in the "deflate" compression format.
PrintStream	A `PrintStream` adds functionality to another output stream, namely the ability to print representations of various data values conveniently.

Known Indirect Subclasses

GZIPOutputStream, JarOutputStream, ZipOutputStream

GZIPOutputStream	This class implements a stream filter for writing compressed data in the GZIP file format.
JarOutputStream	The `JarOutputStream` class is used to write the contents of a JAR file to any output stream.
ZipOutputStream	This class implements an output stream filter for writing files in the ZIP file format.

This class is the superclass of all classes that filter output streams. These streams sit on top of an already existing output stream (the underlying output stream) which it uses as its basic sink of data, but possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional functionality.

The class FilterOutputStream itself simply overrides all methods of OutputStream with versions that pass all requests to the underlying output stream. Subclasses of FilterOutputStream may further override some of these methods as well as provide additional methods and fields.

Summary

Public constructors
`FilterOutputStream(out: OutputStream!)` Creates an output stream filter built on top of the specified underlying output stream.

Public methods
open Unit	`close()` Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.
open Unit	`flush()` Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out to the stream.
open Unit	`write(b: Int)` Writes the specified `byte` to this output stream.
open Unit	`write(b: ByteArray!)` Writes `b.length` bytes to this output stream.
open Unit	`write(b: ByteArray!, off: Int, len: Int)` Writes `len` bytes from the specified `byte` array starting at offset `off` to this output stream.

Inherited functions

From class OutputStream

OutputStream!

nullOutputStream()

Returns a new OutputStream which discards all bytes. The returned stream is initially open. The stream is closed by calling the close() method. Subsequent calls to close() have no effect.

While the stream is open, the write(int), write(byte[]), and write(byte[], int, int) methods do nothing. After the stream has been closed, these methods all throw IOException.

The flush() method does nothing.

Properties
OutputStream!	`out` The underlying output stream to be filtered.

Public constructors

FilterOutputStream

Added in API level 1

FilterOutputStream(out: OutputStream!)

Creates an output stream filter built on top of the specified underlying output stream.

Parameters
`out`	OutputStream!: the underlying output stream to be assigned to the field `this.out` for later use, or `null` if this instance is to be created without an underlying stream.

Public methods

close

Added in API level 1

open fun close(): Unit

Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.

When not already closed, the close method of FilterOutputStream calls its flush method, and then calls the close method of its underlying output stream.

Exceptions
`java.lang.Exception`	if this resource cannot be closed
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs.
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs.

See Also

java.io.FilterOutputStream#out

flush

Added in API level 1

open fun flush(): Unit

Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out to the stream.

The flush method of FilterOutputStream calls the flush method of its underlying output stream.

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs.
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs.

See Also

java.io.FilterOutputStream#out

write

Added in API level 1

open fun write(b: Int): Unit

Writes the specified byte to this output stream.

The write method of FilterOutputStream calls the write method of its underlying output stream, that is, it performs out.write(b).

Implements the abstract write method of OutputStream.

Parameters
`b`	Int: the `byte`.

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs. In particular, an `IOException` may be thrown if the output stream has been closed.
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs.

write

Added in API level 1

open fun write(b: ByteArray!): Unit

Writes b.length bytes to this output stream.

The write method of FilterOutputStream calls its write method of three arguments with the arguments b, 0, and b.length.

Note that this method does not call the one-argument write method of its underlying output stream with the single argument b.

Parameters
`b`	ByteArray!: the data to be written.

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs.
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs.

java.io.FilterOutputStream#write(byte[], int, int)

write

Added in API level 1

open fun write(
    b: ByteArray!, 
    off: Int, 
    len: Int
): Unit

Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this output stream.

The write method of FilterOutputStream calls the write method of one argument on each byte to output.

Note that this method does not call the write method of its underlying output stream with the same arguments. Subclasses of FilterOutputStream should provide a more efficient implementation of this method.

Parameters
`b`	ByteArray!: the data.
`off`	Int: the start offset in the data.
`len`	Int: the number of bytes to write.

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs. In particular, an `IOException` is thrown if the output stream is closed.
`java.io.IOException`	if an I/O error occurs.

Properties

out

Added in API level 1

protected var out: OutputStream!

The underlying output stream to be filtered.
