PrintStream

PrintStream

PrintStream (OutputStream out)

Creates a new print stream. This stream will not flush automatically.

PrintStream

PrintStream (OutputStream out, 
                boolean autoFlush)

Creates a new print stream.

PrintStream

PrintStream (OutputStream out, 
                boolean autoFlush, 
                String encoding)

Creates a new print stream.

PrintStream

PrintStream (String fileName)

Creates a new print stream, without automatic line flushing, with the specified file name. This convenience constructor creates the necessary intermediate OutputStreamWriter, which will encode characters using the default charset for this instance of the Java virtual machine.

PrintStream

PrintStream (String fileName, 
                String csn)

Creates a new print stream, without automatic line flushing, with the specified file name and charset. This convenience constructor creates the necessary intermediate OutputStreamWriter, which will encode characters using the provided charset.

PrintStream

PrintStream (File file)

Creates a new print stream, without automatic line flushing, with the specified file. This convenience constructor creates the necessary intermediate OutputStreamWriter, which will encode characters using the default charset for this instance of the Java virtual machine.

PrintStream

PrintStream (File file, 
                String csn)

Creates a new print stream, without automatic line flushing, with the specified file and charset. This convenience constructor creates the necessary intermediate OutputStreamWriter, which will encode characters using the provided charset.

append

PrintStream append (char c)

Appends the specified character to this output stream.

An invocation of this method of the form out.append(c) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

     out.print(c) 

append

PrintStream append (CharSequence csq, 
                int start, 
                int end)

Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this output stream.

An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq, start, end) when csq is not null, behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

     out.print(csq.subSequence(start, end).toString()) 

append

PrintStream append (CharSequence csq)

Appends the specified character sequence to this output stream.

An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

     out.print(csq.toString()) 

Depending on the specification of toString for the character sequence csq, the entire sequence may not be appended. For instance, invoking then toString method of a character buffer will return a subsequence whose content depends upon the buffer's position and limit.

checkError

boolean checkError ()

Flushes the stream and checks its error state. The internal error state is set to true when the underlying output stream throws an IOException other than InterruptedIOException, and when the setError method is invoked. If an operation on the underlying output stream throws an InterruptedIOException, then the PrintStream converts the exception back into an interrupt by doing:

     Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
 

close

void close ()

Closes the stream. This is done by flushing the stream and then closing the underlying output stream.

flush

void flush ()

Flushes the stream. This is done by writing any buffered output bytes to the underlying output stream and then flushing that stream.

format

PrintStream format (Locale l, 
                String format, 
                Object... args)

Writes a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.

format

PrintStream format (String format, 
                Object... args)

Writes a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.

The locale always used is the one returned by Locale.getDefault(), regardless of any previous invocations of other formatting methods on this object.

print

void print (int i)

Prints an integer. The string produced by valueOf(int) is translated into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the write(int) method.

print

void print (double d)

Prints a double-precision floating-point number. The string produced by valueOf(double) is translated into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the write(int) method.

print

void print (boolean b)

Prints a boolean value. The string produced by valueOf(boolean) is translated into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the write(int) method.

print

void print (char c)

Prints a character. The character is translated into one or more bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the write(int) method.

print

void print (long l)

Prints a long integer. The string produced by valueOf(long) is translated into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the write(int) method.

print

void print (float f)

Prints a floating-point number. The string produced by valueOf(float) is translated into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the write(int) method.

print

void print (String s)

Prints a string. If the argument is null then the string "null" is printed. Otherwise, the string's characters are converted into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the write(int) method.

print

void print (Object obj)

Prints an object. The string produced by the valueOf(Object) method is translated into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the write(int) method.

print

void print (char[] s)

Prints an array of characters. The characters are converted into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the write(int) method.

printf

PrintStream printf (String format, 
                Object... args)

A convenience method to write a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.

An invocation of this method of the form out.printf(format, args) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

     out.format(format, args) 

printf

PrintStream printf (Locale l, 
                String format, 
                Object... args)

A convenience method to write a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.

An invocation of this method of the form out.printf(l, format, args) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

     out.format(l, format, args) 

println

void println (Object x)

Prints an Object and then terminate the line. This method calls at first String.valueOf(x) to get the printed object's string value, then behaves as though it invokes print(String) and then println().

println

void println (char x)

Prints a character and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(char) and then println().

println

void println (boolean x)

Prints a boolean and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(boolean) and then println().

println

void println (long x)

Prints a long and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(long) and then println().

println

void println ()

Terminates the current line by writing the line separator string. The line separator string is defined by the system property line.separator, and is not necessarily a single newline character ('\n').

println

void println (int x)

Prints an integer and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(int) and then println().

println

void println (String x)

Prints a String and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(String) and then println().

println

void println (char[] x)

Prints an array of characters and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(char[]) and then println().

println

void println (float x)

Prints a float and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(float) and then println().

println

void println (double x)

Prints a double and then terminate the line. This method behaves as though it invokes print(double) and then println().

write

void write (byte[] buf, 
                int off, 
                int len)

Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this stream. If automatic flushing is enabled then the flush method will be invoked.

Note that the bytes will be written as given; to write characters that will be translated according to the platform's default character encoding, use the print(char) or println(char) methods.

write

void write (int b)

Writes the specified byte to this stream. If the byte is a newline and automatic flushing is enabled then the flush method will be invoked.

Note that the byte is written as given; to write a character that will be translated according to the platform's default character encoding, use the print(char) or println(char) methods.

clearError

void clearError ()

Clears the internal error state of this stream.

This method will cause subsequent invocations of checkError() to return false until another write operation fails and invokes setError().

setError

void setError ()

Sets the error state of the stream to true.

This method will cause subsequent invocations of checkError() to return true until clearError() is invoked.
