DataInput and DataOutput

DataInput and DataOutput read and write primitive Java types from a stream. Since they're interfaces, all of their methods, which follow, are abstract and so do nothing until they're instantiated.

DataInput:

  • readBoolean()

  • readByte()

  • readFloat()

  • readChar()

  • readDouble()

  • readInt()

  • readShort()

  • readLong()

  • readLine()

  • readUTF()

  • readUnsignedByte()

  • readUnsignedShort()

  • readFully(byte_sequence)

  • readFully(byte_sequence, off, len)

  • skipBytes(n)

DataOutput:

  • write (b)

  • write(byte_sequence)

  • writeBoolean(boolean)

  • writeByte(byte)

  • writeBytes(string)

  • writeChar(char)

  • writeChars(string)

  • writeDouble(double)

  • writeFloat(float)

  • writeInt(int)

  • writeLong(long)

  • writeShort(short)

  • writeUTF()
