| java.lang.Object
 java.io.RandomAccessFile
| RandomAccessFile | | public class RandomAccessFile implements DataOutput,DataInput(Code) | | Instances of this class support both reading and writing to a
random access file. A random access file behaves like a large
array of bytes stored in the file system. There is a kind of cursor,
or index into the implied array, called the file pointer;
input operations read bytes starting at the file pointer and advance
the file pointer past the bytes read. If the random access file is
created in read/write mode, then output operations are also available;
output operations write bytes starting at the file pointer and advance
the file pointer past the bytes written. Output operations that write
past the current end of the implied array cause the array to be
extended. The file pointer can be read by the
getFilePointer method and set by the seek
method.
It is generally true of all the reading routines in this class that
if end-of-file is reached before the desired number of bytes has been
read, an EOFException (which is a kind of
IOException) is thrown. If any byte cannot be read for
any reason other than end-of-file, an IOException other
than EOFException is thrown. In particular, an
IOException may be thrown if the stream has been closed.

| RandomAccessFile | | public RandomAccessFile(String name, String mode) throws FileNotFoundException(Code) | | Creates a random access file stream to read from, and optionally
to write to, a file with the specified name. A new
FileDescriptor object is created to represent the
connection to the file.
The mode argument specifies the access mode with which the
file is to be opened. The permitted values and their meanings are as
specified for the RandomAccessFile(File,String) constructor.
If there is a security manager, its checkRead method
is called with the name argument
as its argument to see if read access to the file is allowed.
If the mode allows writing, the security manager's
checkWrite method
is also called with the name argument
as its argument to see if write access to the file is allowed.
Parameters:
name - the system-dependent filename
Parameters:
mode - the access mode
exception:
IllegalArgumentException - if the mode argument is not equalto one of "r", "rw", "rws", or"rwd"
exception:
FileNotFoundException - if the file exists but is a directoryrather than a regular file, or cannot be opened orcreated for any other reason
exception:
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and itscheckRead method denies read access to the fileor the mode is "rw" and the security manager'scheckWrite method denies write access to the file

| RandomAccessFile | | public RandomAccessFile(File file, String mode) throws FileNotFoundException(Code) | | Creates a random access file stream to read from, and optionally to
write to, the file specified by the
File argument. A new
FileDescriptor object is created to represent this file connection.
The mode argument specifies the access mode
in which the file is to be opened. The permitted values and their
meanings are:
Value | Meaning |
|---|
| "r" |
Open for reading only. Invoking any of the write
methods of the resulting object will cause an
java.io.IOException to be thrown. |
| "rw" |
Open for reading and writing. If the file does not already
exist then an attempt will be made to create it. |
| "rws" |
Open for reading and writing, as with "rw", and also
require that every update to the file's content or metadata be
written synchronously to the underlying storage device. |
| "rwd" |
Open for reading and writing, as with "rw", and also
require that every update to the file's content be written
synchronously to the underlying storage device. |
If
the file resides on a local storage device then when an invocation of a
method of this class returns it is guaranteed that all changes made to
the file by that invocation will have been written to that device. This
is useful for ensuring that critical information is not lost in the
event of a system crash. If the file does not reside on a local device
then no such guarantee is made.
The "rwd" mode can be used to reduce the number of I/O
operations performed. Using "rwd" only requires updates to the
file's content to be written to storage; using "rws" requires
updates to both the file's content and its metadata to be written, which
generally requires at least one more low-level I/O operation.
If there is a security manager, its checkRead method is
called with the pathname of the file argument as its
argument to see if read access to the file is allowed. If the mode
allows writing, the security manager's checkWrite method is
also called with the path argument to see if write access to the file is
allowed.
Parameters:
file - the file object
Parameters:
mode - the access mode, as describedabove
exception:
IllegalArgumentException - if the mode argument is not equalto one of "r", "rw", "rws", or"rwd"
exception:
FileNotFoundException - if the file exists but is a directoryrather than a regular file, or cannot be opened orcreated for any other reason
exception:
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and itscheckRead method denies read access to the fileor the mode is "rw" and the security manager'scheckWrite method denies write access to the file

reads bytes from the file, starting at the current file pointer,
until it reaches a line terminator or the end
of the file. Each byte is converted into a character by taking the
byte's value for the lower eight bits of the character and setting the

bytes from this file, starting at the current file pointer.

stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

exception:
EOFException - if this file reaches the end before readingtwo bytes.
exception:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs. |
| readUTF | | final public String readUTF() throws IOException(Code) | | Reads in a string from this file. The string has been encoded
using a modified UTF-8 format.
The first two bytes are read, starting from the current file
pointer, as if by
readUnsignedShort. This value gives the number of
following bytes that are in the encoded string, not
the length of the resulting string. The following bytes are then
interpreted as bytes encoding characters in the UTF-8 format
and are converted into characters.
This method blocks until all the bytes are read, the end of the
stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

exception:
EOFException - if this file reaches the end beforereading all the bytes.
exception:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

EOFException - if this file has reached the end.
exception:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs. |
| readUnsignedShort | | final public int readUnsignedShort() throws IOException(Code) | | Reads an unsigned 16-bit number from this file. This method reads
two bytes from the file, starting at the current file pointer.

file, at which the next read or write occurs. The offset may be
set beyond the end of the file. Setting the offset beyond the end
of the file does not change the file length. The file length will
change only by writing after the offset has been set beyond the end
of the file.
Parameters:
pos - the offset position, measured in bytes from the beginning of the file, at which to set the file pointer.
exception:
IOException - if pos is less than 0 or if an I/O error occurs. |
| setLength | | native public void setLength(long newLength) throws IOException(Code) | | Sets the length of this file.
If the present length of the file as returned by the
length method is greater than the newLength
argument then the file will be truncated. In this case, if the file
offset as returned by the getFilePointer method is greater
then newLength then after this method returns the offset
will be equal to newLength.
If the present length of the file as returned by the
length method is smaller than the newLength
argument then the file will be extended. In this case, the contents of
the extended portion of the file are not defined.
Parameters:
newLength - The desired length of the file

The actual number of bytes skipped is returned. If n
is negative, no bytes are skipped.
Parameters:
