java.io.DataInputStream and
java.io.DataOutputStream classes read and write primitive Java data types and Strings
in a machine-independent way. Generally you use a DataInputStream to read
data written by a DataOutputStream. This format uses IEEE 754 for floating point data, big-endian format for integer data, and a modified UTF-8 for Unicode data.
DataOutputStream declares these methods:
public DataOutputStream(OutputStream out)
public synchronized void write(int b) throws IOException
public synchronized void write(byte[] data, int offset, int length)
throws IOException
public final void writeBoolean(boolean b) throws IOException
public final void writeByte(int b) throws IOException
public final void writeShort(int s) throws IOException
public final void writeChar(int c) throws IOException
public final void writeInt(int i) throws IOException
public final void writeFloat(float f) throws IOException
public final void writeDouble(double d) throws IOException
public final void writeBytes(String s) throws IOException
public final void writeChars(String s) throws IOException
public final void writeUTF(String s) throws IOException
public final int size()
public void flush() throws IOException
size() method returns the number of bytes written to this data output stream.
