- public class PrintStream
- extends FilterOutputStream
- super class of:
- LogStream
Print values and objects to an output stream, using the platform's default
character encoding to convert characters into bytes.
If automatic flushing is enabled at creation time, then the stream will
be flushed each time a line is terminated or a newline character is written.
Methods in this class never throw I/O exceptions. Client code may
inquire as to whether any errors have occurred by invoking the
checkError
method.
Note: This class is provided primarily for use in debugging,
and for compatibility with existing code; new code should use the
PrintWriter class.
- Since:
- JDK1.0
- See Also:
- PrintWriter

PrintStream
public PrintStream(OutputStream out)
- Note: PrintStream() is deprecated.
As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to print text is
via the PrintWriter class. Consider replacing code of the
form PrintStream p = new PrintStream(out);
with PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(out);
- Create a new print stream.
- Parameters:
- out - The output stream to which values and objects will be
printed
- See Also:
- PrintWriter
PrintStream
public PrintStream(OutputStream out,
boolean autoFlush)
- Note: PrintStream() is deprecated.
As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to print text is
via the PrintWriter class. Consider replacing code of the
form PrintStream p = new PrintStream(out, autoFlush);
with PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(out, autoFlush);
- Create a new PrintStream.
- Parameters:
- out - The output stream to which values and objects will be
printed
- autoFlush - A boolean; if true, the output buffer will be flushed
whenever a line is terminated or a newline character
(
'\n'
) is written
- See Also:
- PrintWriter
flush
public void flush()
- Flush the stream. This is done by writing any buffered output bytes to
the underlying output stream and then flushing that stream.
- Overrides:
- flush in class FilterOutputStream
- See Also:
- flush
close
public void close()
- Close the stream. This is done by flushing the stream and then closing
the underlying output stream.
- Overrides:
- close in class FilterOutputStream
- See Also:
- close
checkError
public boolean checkError()
- Flush the stream and check its error state. Errors are cumulative;
once the stream encounters an error, this routine will continue to
return true on all successive calls.
- Returns:
- True if the print stream has encountered an error, either on the
underlying output stream or during a format conversion, otherwise false.
setError
protected void setError()
- Indicate that an error has occurred.
write
public void write(int b)
- Write a byte, blocking if necessary. If the character is a newline and
automatic flushing is enabled, the stream's
flush
method
will be called.
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.
- Parameters:
- b - The byte to be written
- Overrides:
- write in class FilterOutputStream
- See Also:
- print, println
write
public void write(byte buf[],
int off,
int len)
- Write a portion of a byte array, blocking if necessary.
- Parameters:
- buf - A byte array
- off - Offset from which to start taking bytes
- len - Number of bytes to write
- Overrides:
- write in class FilterOutputStream
print
public void print(boolean b)
- Print a boolean value. If the given value is true, then the string
"true"
is written to the underlying output stream;
otherwise, the string "false"
is written.
- Parameters:
- b - The
boolean
to be printed
print
public void print(char c)
- Print a character. The character is translated into one or more bytes
according to the platform's default character encoding.
- Parameters:
- c - The
char
to be printed
print
public void print(int i)
- Print an integer. The string printed is the same as that returned by
the
toString
method of the Integer
class when
invoked on the given int
value.
- Parameters:
- i - The
int
to be printed
- See Also:
- toString
print
public void print(long l)

- toString
print

print
public void print(char s[])
- Print an array of characters. The characters are converted into bytes

print
public void print(String s)
- Print a string. If the argument is
null
, the string
"null"
is written to the underlying output stream.

the platform's default character encoding.
- Parameters:
- s - The
String
to be printed

separator string is defined by the system property

character ('\n'
).
