Method Detail

writeByte

public abstract void writeByte(byte b)
                        throws IOException

Writes a single byte.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

DataInput.readByte()

writeBytes

public void writeBytes(byte[] b,
              int length)
                throws IOException

Writes an array of bytes.

Parameters:

b - the bytes to write

length - the number of bytes to write

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

DataInput.readBytes(byte[],int,int)

writeBytes

public abstract void writeBytes(byte[] b,
              int offset,
              int length)
                         throws IOException

Writes an array of bytes.

Parameters:

b - the bytes to write

offset - the offset in the byte array

length - the number of bytes to write

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

DataInput.readBytes(byte[],int,int)

writeInt

public void writeInt(int i)
              throws IOException

Writes an int as four bytes.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

DataInput.readInt()

writeShort

public void writeShort(short i)
                throws IOException

Writes a short as two bytes.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

DataInput.readShort()

writeVInt

public final void writeVInt(int i)
                     throws IOException

Writes an int in a variable-length format. Writes between one and five bytes. Smaller values take fewer bytes. Negative numbers are supported, but should be avoided.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

DataInput.readVInt()

writeLong

public void writeLong(long i)
               throws IOException

Writes a long as eight bytes.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

DataInput.readLong()

writeVLong

public final void writeVLong(long i)
                      throws IOException

Writes an long in a variable-length format. Writes between one and nine bytes. Smaller values take fewer bytes. Negative numbers are not supported.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

DataInput.readVLong()

writeString

public void writeString(String s)
                 throws IOException

Writes a string.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

DataInput.readString()

copyBytes

public void copyBytes(DataInput input,
             long numBytes)
               throws IOException

Copy numBytes bytes from input to ourself.

Throws:

IOException

writeChars

@Deprecated
public void writeChars(String s,
                         int start,
                         int length)
                throws IOException

Deprecated. -- please pre-convert to utf8 bytes instead or use writeString(java.lang.String)

Writes a sub sequence of characters from s as the old format (modified UTF-8 encoded bytes).

Parameters:

s - the source of the characters

start - the first character in the sequence

length - the number of characters in the sequence

Throws:

IOException

writeChars

@Deprecated
public void writeChars(char[] s,
                         int start,
                         int length)
                throws IOException

Deprecated. -- please pre-convert to utf8 bytes instead or use writeString(java.lang.String)

Writes a sub sequence of characters from char[] as the old format (modified UTF-8 encoded bytes).

Parameters:

s - the source of the characters

start - the first character in the sequence

length - the number of characters in the sequence

Throws:

IOException

writeStringStringMap

public void writeStringStringMap(Map<String,String> map)
                          throws IOException

Throws:

IOException
