Class MemoryOutputStream

java.lang.Object
  java.io.OutputStream
      uk.ac.gla.terrier.compression.MemoryOutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable

public class MemoryOutputStream
extends java.io.OutputStream

This class extends an ordinary OutputStream to handle transparently writes in memory. This means that this class doesn't flush to disk anything, that should be done separately (@see MSBOStream). It allocates a byte[] array of original size, that can grow and be reallocated dynamically if it is needed. The class used for handling the reallocations is @see ArrayUtils.

Constructor Detail

MemoryOutputStream

public MemoryOutputStream()

Default constructor. Instanciates a buffer of DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE size

MemoryOutputStream

public MemoryOutputStream(int bufferSize)

Creates a new instance of this class setting the buffer size.

Parameters:

bufferSize - size of the buffer (in bytes)

MemoryOutputStream

public MemoryOutputStream(int bufferSize,
                          int enlargeSize)

Creates a new instance of this class setting the buffer size and the growing ratio

Parameters:

bufferSize - size of the buffer (in bytes)

enlargeSize - size the buffer is going to grow if needed (argument to ByteArrays)

Method Detail

getPos

public int getPos()

Returns:

the position in the buffer

write

public void write(int b)
           throws java.io.IOException

Writes a byte into the buffer.

Specified by:

write in class java.io.OutputStream

Parameters:

b - int containing the byte to write.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

writeByte

public void writeByte(byte b)
               throws java.io.IOException

Writes a byte into the buffer.

Parameters:

b - byte to write.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

write

public void write(byte[] b,
                  int offset,
                  int length)

Writes a sequence of bytes to the buffer.

Overrides:

write in class java.io.OutputStream

Parameters:

b - byte[] array containing the bytes to write

offset - int offset where the data to write begins

length - int number of elements to write

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

getBuffer

public byte[] getBuffer()

Returns:

the underlying byte[] buffer

flush
