  • Method Details Link icon

    • write Link icon

      void write(UnicodeString chars) throws IOException
      Process a supplied string
      Parameters:
      chars - the characters to be processed
      Throws:
      IOException - if processing fails for any reason

    • writeAscii Link icon

      void writeAscii(byte[] content) throws IOException
      Write a supplied string known to consist entirely of ASCII characters, supplied as a byte array. (The significance of this is that, for a variety of encodings including UTF-8 and Latin-1, the bytes can be written to the output stream "as is", because many encodings have ASCII as a subset.)
      Parameters:
      content - byte array holding ASCII characters only (the effect if the high-order bit is set is undefined)
      Throws:
      IOException - if processing fails for any reason

    • writeCodePoint Link icon

      default void writeCodePoint(int codepoint) throws IOException
      Process a single character. The default implementation wraps the codepoint into a single-character UnicodeString
      Parameters:
      codepoint - the character to be processed. Must not be a surrogate
      Throws:
      IOException - if processing fails for any reason

    • writeRepeatedAscii Link icon

      default void writeRepeatedAscii(byte asciiChar, int count) throws IOException
      Process a single character repeatedly. The default implementation fills a byte array and calls writeAscii(byte[]).
      Parameters:
      asciiChar - the character to be processed.
      count - the number of times the character is to be output
      Throws:
      IOException - if processing fails for any reason

    • write Link icon

      void write(String chars) throws IOException
      Process a supplied string
      Parameters:
      chars - the characters to be processed
      Throws:
      IOException - if processing fails for any reason

    • close Link icon

      default void close() throws IOException
      Complete the writing of characters to the result. The default implementation does nothing.
      Throws:
      IOException - if processing fails for any reason

    • flush Link icon

      default void flush() throws IOException
      Flush the contents of any buffers. The default implementation does nothing.
      Throws:
      IOException - if processing fails for any reason
