Constructor Detail

ForkedOutputStream

public ForkedOutputStream(List<OutputStream> theoutputStreams)
Creates a forked output stream that writes to all output streams in the given list.

Parameters:
theoutputStreams - list of output streams

ForkedOutputStream

public ForkedOutputStream(OutputStream stream1,
                          OutputStream stream2)
Creates a forked output stream that writes to the two given output streams.

Parameters:
stream1 - an output stream
stream2 - an output stream
Method Detail

write

public void write(int b)
           throws IOException
Writes the specified byte to this output stream. The general contract for write is that one byte is written to the output stream. The byte to be written is the eight low-order bits of the argument b. The 24 high-order bits of b are ignored.

Subclasses of OutputStream must provide an implementation for this method.

Specified by:
write in class OutputStream
Parameters:
b - the byte.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs. In particular, an IOException may be thrown if the output stream has been closed.

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException
Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out. 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 of OutputStream does nothing.

Overrides:
flush in class OutputStream
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

close

public void close()
           throws IOException
Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream. 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 of OutputStream does nothing.

Overrides:
close in class OutputStream
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
