Constructor Detail

RandomAccessFile

public RandomAccessFile(File file)
                 throws IOException

Parameters:

file - to open for random access

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - if file was not found or the file is locked by a different process

IOException

RandomAccessFile

public RandomAccessFile(File file,
                        boolean create)
                 throws IOException

Parameters:

file - to open for random access

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - if file was not found or the file is locked by a different process

IOException

Method Detail

seek

public void seek(long offset)
          throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Sets the offset, measured from the beginning of the data container at which the next read or write occurs. The offset may be set beyond the end of the data container. Setting the offset beyond the end of the data container does not change the data container length. The length will change only by writing after the offset has been set beyond the end of the data container.

Parameters:

offset - the offset position, measured in bytes from the beginning of the data container

Throws:

IOException - if offset is less than 0 or if an I/O error occurs.

seekBy

public void seekBy(long delta)
            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Sets the offset, measured from the current offset at which the next read or write occurs. The offset may be set beyond the end of the data container. Setting the offset beyond the end of the data container does not change the data container length. The length will change only by writing after the offset has been set beyond the end of the data container.

Parameters:

delta - the ammount of bytes by wich to change the current offset position

Throws:

IOException - if the resulting offset is less than 0 or if an I/O error occurs.

read

public int read()
         throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Reads a byte of data from this data container. The byte is returned as an integer in the range 0 to 255 (0x00-0x0ff). This method blocks if no input is yet available.

This method behaves in exactly the same way as the InputStream.read() method of InputStream.

Returns:

the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the data container has been reached.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs. Not thrown if the end of the data container has been reached.

getOffset

public long getOffset()
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Returns the current offset in this data container.

Returns:

the offset from the beginning of the data container, in bytes, at which the next read or write occurs.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

getLength

public long getLength()
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Returns the length of this data container.

Returns:

the length of this data container, measured in bytes.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

read

public int read(byte[] buffer)
         throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Reads up to buffer.length bytes of data from this data container into an array of bytes. This method blocks until at least one byte of input is available.

This method behaves in the exactly the same way as the InputStream.read(byte[]) method of InputStream.

Parameters:

buffer - the buffer into which the data is read.

Returns:

the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of this data container has been reached.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

read

public int read(byte[] buffer,
                int start,
                int numBytes)
         throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Reads up to len bytes of data from this data container into an array of bytes. This method blocks until at least one byte of input is available.

Returns:

the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of the file has been reached.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Closes this random access data container and releases any system resources associated with the stream. A closed random access data container cannot perform input or output operations and cannot be reopened.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Force changes to be made persistent.

Throws:

IOException

isReadOnly

public boolean isReadOnly()

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

true if this is a read only data container.

Returns:

true if this is a read only data container.

write

public void write(int b)
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Writes the specified byte . The write starts at the current offset.

Parameters:

b - the byte to be written.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

write

public void write(byte[] buffer)
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array, starting at the current offset.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

write

public void write(byte[] buffer,
                  int start,
                  int numBytes)
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at start.

Parameters:

buffer - the data.

start - the start offset in the data.

numBytes - the number of bytes to write.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

setLength

public void setLength(long newLength)
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IRandomAccess

Assign the length. All bytes after length are truncated. If the real length is currently less than newLength, the data structure will be enlarged.

Throws:

IOException
