class Output

package haxe.io

extended by BytesOutput

@:keep

An Output is an abstract write. A specific output implementation will only have to override the writeByte and maybe the write, flush and close methods. See File.write and String.write for two ways of creating an Output.

Methods

close ():Void

Close the output.

Behaviour while writing after calling this method is unspecified.

flush ():Void

Flush any buffered data.

prepare (nbytes:Int):Void

Inform that we are about to write at least nbytes bytes.

The underlying implementation can allocate proper working space depending on this information, or simply ignore it. This is not a mandatory call but a tip and is only used in some specific cases.

write (s:Bytes):Void

Write all bytes stored in s.

writeByte (c:Int):Void

Write one byte.

@:has_untypedwriteBytes (s:Bytes, pos:Int, len:Int):Int

Write len bytes from s starting by position specified by pos.

Returns the actual length of written data that can differ from len.

See writeFullBytes that tries to write the exact amount of specified bytes.

writeFullBytes (s:Bytes, pos:Int, len:Int):Void

Write len bytes from s starting by position specified by pos.

Unlike writeBytes, this method tries to write the exact len amount of bytes.

writeString (s:String):Void

Write s string.
