Piped character-output streams.
Author: Mark Reinhold
Since: 1.1
/** * Piped character-output streams. * * @author Mark Reinhold * @since 1.1 */
public class PipedWriter extends Writer { /* REMIND: identification of the read and write sides needs to be more sophisticated. Either using thread groups (but what about pipes within a thread?) or using finalization (but it may be a long time until the next GC). */ private PipedReader sink; /* This flag records the open status of this particular writer. It * is independent of the status flags defined in PipedReader. It is * used to do a sanity check on connect. */ private boolean closed = false;
Creates a piped writer connected to the specified piped reader. Data characters written to this stream will then be available as input from snk.
Params:
  • snk – The piped reader to connect to.
Throws:
/** * Creates a piped writer connected to the specified piped * reader. Data characters written to this stream will then be * available as input from <code>snk</code>. * * @param snk The piped reader to connect to. * @exception IOException if an I/O error occurs. */
public PipedWriter(PipedReader snk) throws IOException { connect(snk); }
Creates a piped writer that is not yet connected to a piped reader. It must be connected to a piped reader, either by the receiver or the sender, before being used.
See Also:
/** * Creates a piped writer that is not yet connected to a * piped reader. It must be connected to a piped reader, * either by the receiver or the sender, before being used. * * @see java.io.PipedReader#connect(java.io.PipedWriter) * @see java.io.PipedWriter#connect(java.io.PipedReader) */
public PipedWriter() { }
Connects this piped writer to a receiver. If this object is already connected to some other piped reader, an IOException is thrown.

If snk is an unconnected piped reader and src is an unconnected piped writer, they may be connected by either the call:

src.connect(snk)
or the call:
snk.connect(src)
The two calls have the same effect.
Params:
  • snk – the piped reader to connect to.
Throws:
/** * Connects this piped writer to a receiver. If this object * is already connected to some other piped reader, an * <code>IOException</code> is thrown. * <p> * If <code>snk</code> is an unconnected piped reader and * <code>src</code> is an unconnected piped writer, they may * be connected by either the call: * <blockquote><pre> * src.connect(snk)</pre></blockquote> * or the call: * <blockquote><pre> * snk.connect(src)</pre></blockquote> * The two calls have the same effect. * * @param snk the piped reader to connect to. * @exception IOException if an I/O error occurs. */
public synchronized void connect(PipedReader snk) throws IOException { if (snk == null) { throw new NullPointerException(); } else if (sink != null || snk.connected) { throw new IOException("Already connected"); } else if (snk.closedByReader || closed) { throw new IOException("Pipe closed"); } sink = snk; snk.in = -1; snk.out = 0; snk.connected = true; }
Writes the specified char to the piped output stream. If a thread was reading data characters from the connected piped input stream, but the thread is no longer alive, then an IOException is thrown.

Implements the write method of Writer.

Params:
  • c – the char to be written.
Throws:
/** * Writes the specified <code>char</code> to the piped output stream. * If a thread was reading data characters from the connected piped input * stream, but the thread is no longer alive, then an * <code>IOException</code> is thrown. * <p> * Implements the <code>write</code> method of <code>Writer</code>. * * @param c the <code>char</code> to be written. * @exception IOException if the pipe is * <a href=PipedOutputStream.html#BROKEN> <code>broken</code></a>, * {@link #connect(java.io.PipedReader) unconnected}, closed * or an I/O error occurs. */
public void write(int c) throws IOException { if (sink == null) { throw new IOException("Pipe not connected"); } sink.receive(c); }
Writes len characters from the specified character array starting at offset off to this piped output stream. This method blocks until all the characters are written to the output stream. If a thread was reading data characters from the connected piped input stream, but the thread is no longer alive, then an IOException is thrown.
Params:
  • cbuf – the data.
  • off – the start offset in the data.
  • len – the number of characters to write.
Throws:
/** * Writes {@code len} characters from the specified character array * starting at offset {@code off} to this piped output stream. * This method blocks until all the characters are written to the output * stream. * If a thread was reading data characters from the connected piped input * stream, but the thread is no longer alive, then an * {@code IOException} is thrown. * * @param cbuf the data. * @param off the start offset in the data. * @param len the number of characters to write. * * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException * If {@code off} is negative, or {@code len} is negative, * or {@code off + len} is negative or greater than the length * of the given array * * @throws IOException if the pipe is * <a href=PipedOutputStream.html#BROKEN><code>broken</code></a>, * {@link #connect(java.io.PipedReader) unconnected}, closed * or an I/O error occurs. */
public void write(char cbuf[], int off, int len) throws IOException { if (sink == null) { throw new IOException("Pipe not connected"); } else if ((off | len | (off + len) | (cbuf.length - (off + len))) < 0) { throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(); } sink.receive(cbuf, off, len); }
Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output characters to be written out. This will notify any readers that characters are waiting in the pipe.
Throws:
  • IOException – if the pipe is closed, or an I/O error occurs.
/** * Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output characters * to be written out. * This will notify any readers that characters are waiting in the pipe. * * @exception IOException if the pipe is closed, or an I/O error occurs. */
public synchronized void flush() throws IOException { if (sink != null) { if (sink.closedByReader || closed) { throw new IOException("Pipe closed"); } synchronized (sink) { sink.notifyAll(); } } }
Closes this piped output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream. This stream may no longer be used for writing characters.
Throws:
  • IOException – if an I/O error occurs.
/** * Closes this piped output stream and releases any system resources * associated with this stream. This stream may no longer be used for * writing characters. * * @exception IOException if an I/O error occurs. */
public void close() throws IOException { closed = true; if (sink != null) { sink.receivedLast(); } } }
