Enabled: Writes a string to the underlying output stream using UTF-8 encoding in a machine-independent manner.

First, two bytes are written to the output stream as if by the writeShort method giving the number of bytes to follow. This value is the number of bytes actually written out, not the length of the string. Following the length, each character of the string is output, in sequence, using the UTF-8 encoding for the character. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by the total number of bytes written to the output stream. This will be at least two plus the length of str, and at most two plus thrice the length of str.

Specified by:

writeUTF in interface DataOutput

Parameters:

str - a string to be written.

IOException

writeUTF

static int writeUTF(String str,
                    DataOutput out)
             throws IOException

Writes a string to the specified DataOutput using UTF-8 encoding in a machine-independent manner.

First, two bytes are written to out as if by the writeShort method giving the number of bytes to follow. This value is the number of bytes actually written out, not the length of the string. Following the length, each character of the string is output, in sequence, using the UTF-8 encoding for the character. If no exception is thrown, the counter written is incremented by the total number of bytes written to the output stream. This will be at least two plus the length of str, and at most two plus thrice the length of str.

Parameters:

str - a string to be written.

out - destination to write to

Returns:

The number of bytes written out.

IOException

size

public final int size()

Enabled: Returns the current value of the counter written, the number of bytes written to this data output stream so far. If the counter overflows, it will be wrapped to Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Returns:

the value of the written field.
