Class Overview

The CheckedOutputStream class is used to maintain a running checksum of all data written to a stream. The purpose of this checksum is to establish data integrity, by publishing the checksum to other parties wanting to read the non corrupted data.

Public Constructors

public CheckedOutputStream (OutputStream os, Checksum cs)

Constructs a new CheckedOutputStream on OutputStream os. The checksum is calculated using the algorithm implemented by csum.

Parameters
os the output stream to calculate checksum for.
cs an entity implementing the checksum algorithm.

Public Methods

public Checksum getChecksum ()

Returns the checksum calculated on the stream read so far.

Returns
  • the updated checksum.

public void write (int val)

Writes the specified byte to the underlying stream. The checksum is updated with val.

Parameters
val the data value to written to the output stream.
Throws
IOException if an IO error has occurred.

public void write (byte[] buf, int off, int nbytes)

Writes n bytes of data from buf starting at offset off to the underlying stream. The checksum is updated with the bytes written.

Parameters
buf data written to the output stream.
off the offset to start reading the data from buf written to the output stream.
nbytes number of bytes to write to the output stream.
Throws
IOException if an IO error has occurred.
