An output stream which triggers an event when a specified number of bytes of data have been written to it. The event can be used, for example, to throw an exception if a maximum has been reached, or to switch the underlying stream type when the threshold is exceeded.

This class overrides all OutputStream methods. However, these overrides ultimately call the corresponding methods in the underlying output stream implementation.

NOTE: This implementation may trigger the event before the threshold is actually reached, since it triggers when a pending write operation would cause the threshold to be exceeded.

Checks to see if writing the specified number of bytes would cause the configured threshold to be exceeded. If so, triggers an event to allow a concrete implementation to take action on this.
