Class ByteSink

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    OutputSupplier<java.io.OutputStream>
    public abstract class ByteSink
extends java.lang.Object
implements OutputSupplier<java.io.OutputStream>
    A destination to which bytes can be written, such as a file. Unlike an OutputStream, a ByteSink is not an open, stateful stream that can be written to and closed. Instead, it is an immutable supplier of OutputStream instances.

    ByteSink provides two kinds of methods:

    • Methods that return a stream: These methods should return a new, independent instance each time they are called. The caller is responsible for ensuring that the returned stream is closed.
    • Convenience methods: These are implementations of common operations that are typically implemented by opening a stream using one of the methods in the first category, doing something and finally closing the stream or channel that was opened.
    Since:
    14.0

      Modifier and Type Method Description
      CharSink asCharSink​(java.nio.charset.Charset charset)
      Returns a CharSink view of this ByteSink that writes characters to this sink as bytes encoded with the given charset.
      java.io.OutputStream getOutput()
      Deprecated.
      This method is only provided for temporary compatibility with the OutputSupplier interface and should not be called directly.
      java.io.OutputStream openBufferedStream()
      Opens a new buffered OutputStream for writing to this sink.
      abstract java.io.OutputStream openStream()
      Opens a new OutputStream for writing to this sink.
      void write​(byte[] bytes)
      Writes all the given bytes to this sink.
      long writeFrom​(java.io.InputStream input)
      Writes all the bytes from the given InputStream to this sink.

      • asCharSink

        public CharSink asCharSink​(java.nio.charset.Charset charset)
        Returns a CharSink view of this ByteSink that writes characters to this sink as bytes encoded with the given charset.

      • openStream

        public abstract java.io.OutputStream openStream()
                                         throws java.io.IOException
        Opens a new OutputStream for writing to this sink. This method should return a new, independent stream each time it is called.

        The caller is responsible for ensuring that the returned stream is closed.

        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs in the process of opening the stream

      • getOutput

        @Deprecated
public final java.io.OutputStream getOutput()
                                     throws java.io.IOException
        Deprecated.
        This method is only provided for temporary compatibility with the OutputSupplier interface and should not be called directly. Use openStream() instead.
        This method is a temporary method provided for easing migration from suppliers to sources and sinks.
        Specified by:
        getOutput in interface OutputSupplier<java.io.OutputStream>
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
        Since:
        15.0

      • openBufferedStream

        public java.io.OutputStream openBufferedStream()
                                        throws java.io.IOException
        Opens a new buffered OutputStream for writing to this sink. The returned stream is not required to be a BufferedOutputStream in order to allow implementations to simply delegate to openStream() when the stream returned by that method does not benefit from additional buffering (for example, a ByteArrayOutputStream). This method should return a new, independent stream each time it is called.

        The caller is responsible for ensuring that the returned stream is closed.

        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs in the process of opening the stream
        Since:
        15.0 (in 14.0 with return type BufferedOutputStream)

      • write

        public void write​(byte[] bytes)
           throws java.io.IOException
        Writes all the given bytes to this sink.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O occurs in the process of writing to this sink

      • writeFrom

        public long writeFrom​(java.io.InputStream input)
               throws java.io.IOException
        Writes all the bytes from the given InputStream to this sink. Does not close input.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O occurs in the process of reading from input or writing to this sink
