haxe.io.Output - Haxe 4.0.5 API

An Output is an abstract write. A specific output implementation will only have to override the writeByte and maybe the write, flush and close methods. See File.write and String.write for two ways of creating an Output.

Variables

`bigEndian:Bool`

Endianness (word byte order) used when writing numbers.

If true, big-endian is used, otherwise little-endian is used.

Methods

`close():Void`

Close the output.

Behaviour while writing after calling this method is unspecified.

`flush():Void`

Flush any buffered data.

`prepare(nbytes:Int):Void`

Inform that we are about to write at least nbytes bytes.

The underlying implementation can allocate proper working space depending on this information, or simply ignore it. This is not a mandatory call but a tip and is only used in some specific cases.

`write(s:Bytes):Void`

Write all bytes stored in s.

`writeByte(c:Int):Void`

Write one byte.

`@:has_untypedwriteBytes(s:Bytes, pos:Int, len:Int):Int`

Write len bytes from s starting by position specified by pos.

Returns the actual length of written data that can differ from len.

See writeFullBytes that tries to write the exact amount of specified bytes.

`writeDouble(x:Float):Void`

Write x as 64-bit double-precision floating point number.

Endianness is specified by the bigEndian property.

`writeFloat(x:Float):Void`

Write x as 32-bit floating point number.

Endianness is specified by the bigEndian property.

`writeFullBytes(s:Bytes, pos:Int, len:Int):Void`

Write len bytes from s starting by position specified by pos.

Unlike writeBytes, this method tries to write the exact len amount of bytes.

`writeInput(i:Input, ?bufsize:Int):Void`

Read all available data from i and write it.

The bufsize optional argument specifies the size of chunks by which data is read and written. Its default value is 4096.

`writeInt16(x:Int):Void`

Write x as 16-bit signed integer.

Endianness is specified by the bigEndian property.

`writeInt24(x:Int):Void`

Write x as 24-bit signed integer.

Endianness is specified by the bigEndian property.

`writeInt32(x:Int):Void`

Write x as 32-bit signed integer.

Endianness is specified by the bigEndian property.

`writeInt8(x:Int):Void`

Write x as 8-bit signed integer.

`writeString(s:String, ?encoding:Encoding):Void`

Write s string.

`writeUInt16(x:Int):Void`

Write x as 16-bit unsigned integer.

Endianness is specified by the bigEndian property.

`writeUInt24(x:Int):Void`

Write x as 24-bit unsigned integer.

Endianness is specified by the bigEndian property.
