Class BinaryOut

  • public final class BinaryOut
extends Object
    The BinaryOut data type provides a basic capability for converting primitive type variables (boolean, byte, char, int, long, float, and double) to sequences of bits and writing them to an output stream. The output stream can be standard output, a file, an OutputStream or a Socket. Uses big-endian (most-significant byte first).

    The client must flush() the output stream when finished writing bits.

    The client should not intermix calls to BinaryOut with calls to Out; otherwise unexpected behavior will result.

      • BinaryOut

        public BinaryOut()
        Initializes a binary output stream from standard output.

      • BinaryOut

        public BinaryOut​(OutputStream os)
        Initializes a binary output stream from an OutputStream.
        Parameters:
        os - the OutputStream

    • Method Detail

      • flush

        public void flush()
