BufferedOutputStream can be setup to write the bytes to the underlying output stream without necessarily causing call to the underlying system for each byte written.
BufferedOutputStream class has below two constructor :
- BufferedOutputStream(OutputStream out) – Creates a new buffered output stream to write data to the specified underlying output stream.
- BufferedOutputStream(OutputStream out, int size) – Creates a new buffered output stream to write data to the specified underlying output stream with the specified buffer size.
BufferedOutputStream class inherits below methods from class java.io.FilterOutputStream :
- write()
- close()
Below is the code example which show how to use BufferedOutputStream to write to System.out stream –
