Class BinaryOut

Object
  extended by BinaryOut

public final class BinaryOut
extends Object

Binary output. This class provides methods for converting primtive 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 intermixing calls to BinaryOut with calls to Out; otherwise unexpected behavior will result.


Constructor Summary
BinaryOut()
          Create a binary output stream from standard output.
BinaryOut(java.io.OutputStream os)
          Create a binary output stream from an OutputStream.
BinaryOut(java.net.Socket socket)
          Create a binary output stream from a Socket.
BinaryOut(String s)
          Create a binary output stream from a filename.
 
Method Summary
 void close()
          Close and flush the binary output stream.
 void flush()
          Flush the binary output stream, padding 0s if number of bits written so far is not a multiple of 8.
static void main(String[] args)
          Test client.
 void write(boolean x)
          Write the specified bit to the binary output stream.
 void write(byte x)
          Write the 8-bit byte to the binary output stream.
 void write(char x)
          Write the 8-bit char to the binary output stream.
 void write(char x, int r)
          Write the r-bit char to the binary output stream.
 void write(double x)
          Write the 64-bit double to the binary output stream.
 void write(float x)
          Write the 32-bit float to the binary output stream.
 void write(int x)
          Write the 32-bit int to the binary output stream.
 void write(int x, int r)
          Write the r-bit int to the binary output stream.
 void write(long x)
          Write the 64-bit long to the binary output stream.
 void write(short x)
          Write the 16-bit int to the binary output stream.
 void write(String s)
          Write the string of 8-bit characters to the binary output stream.

Constructor Detail

BinaryOut

public BinaryOut(java.io.OutputStream os)
Create a binary output stream from an OutputStream.


BinaryOut

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


BinaryOut

public BinaryOut(String s)
Create a binary output stream from a filename.


BinaryOut

public BinaryOut(java.net.Socket socket)
Create a binary output stream from a Socket.

Method Detail

flush

public void flush()
Flush the binary output stream, padding 0s if number of bits written so far is not a multiple of 8.


close

public void close()
Close and flush the binary output stream. Once it is closed, you can no longer write bits.


write

public void write(boolean x)
Write the specified bit to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the boolean to write.

write

public void write(byte x)
Write the 8-bit byte to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the byte to write.

write

public void write(int x)
Write the 32-bit int to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the int to write.

write

public void write(int x,
                  int r)
Write the r-bit int to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the int to write.
r - the number of relevant bits in the char.
Throws:
RuntimeException - if r is not between 1 and 32.
RuntimeException - if x is not between 0 and 2r - 1.

write

public void write(double x)
Write the 64-bit double to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the double to write.

write

public void write(long x)
Write the 64-bit long to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the long to write.

write

public void write(float x)
Write the 32-bit float to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the float to write.

write

public void write(short x)
Write the 16-bit int to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the short to write.

write

public void write(char x)
Write the 8-bit char to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the char to write.
Throws:
RuntimeException - if x is not betwen 0 and 255.

write

public void write(char x,
                  int r)
Write the r-bit char to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
x - the char to write.
r - the number of relevant bits in the char.
Throws:
RuntimeException - if r is not between 1 and 16.
RuntimeException - if x is not between 0 and 2r - 1.

write

public void write(String s)
Write the string of 8-bit characters to the binary output stream.

Parameters:
s - the String to write.
Throws:
RuntimeException - if any character in the string is not between 0 and 255.

write

public void write(String s,
                  int r)
