Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FileOutputStream()

FileOutputStream::FileOutputStream ( const File & fileToWriteTo,
size_t bufferSizeToUse = 16384 )

Creates a FileOutputStream.

If the file doesn't exist, it will first be created. If the file can't be created or opened (for example, because the parent directory of the file does not exist), the failedToOpen() method will return true.

If the file already exists when opened, the stream's write-position will be set to the end of the file. To overwrite an existing file, you can truncate it like this:

FileOutputStream stream (file);
if (stream.openedOk())
{
stream.setPosition (0);
stream.truncate();
...
}
An output stream that writes into a local file.
Definition juce_FileOutputStream.h:50

Destroying a FileOutputStream object does not force the operating system to write the buffered data to disk immediately. If this is required you should call flush() before triggering the destructor.

TemporaryFile

◆ ~FileOutputStream()

FileOutputStream::~FileOutputStream ( )
override

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getFile()

const File & FileOutputStream::getFile ( ) const

Returns the file that this stream is writing to.

◆ getStatus()

const Result & FileOutputStream::getStatus ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the status of the file stream.

The result will be ok if the file opened successfully. If an error occurs while opening or writing to the file, this will contain an error message.

◆ failedToOpen()

bool FileOutputStream::failedToOpen ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the stream couldn't be opened for some reason.

See also
getResult()

◆ openedOk()

bool FileOutputStream::openedOk ( ) const
noexcept

Returns true if the stream opened without problems.

See also
getResult()

◆ truncate()

Result FileOutputStream::truncate ( )

Attempts to truncate the file to the current write position.

To truncate a file to a specific size, first use setPosition() to seek to the appropriate location, and then call this method.

◆ flush()

void FileOutputStream::flush ( )
overridevirtual

If the stream is using a buffer, this will ensure it gets written out to the destination.

Implements OutputStream.

◆ getPosition()

int64 FileOutputStream::getPosition ( )
overridevirtual

Returns the stream's current position.

See also
setPosition

Implements OutputStream.

◆ setPosition()

bool FileOutputStream::setPosition ( int64 newPosition)
overridevirtual

Tries to move the stream's output position.

Not all streams will be able to seek to a new position - this will return false if it fails to work.

See also
getPosition

Implements OutputStream.

◆ write()

bool FileOutputStream::write ( const void * dataToWrite,
size_t numberOfBytes )
overridevirtual

Writes a block of data to the stream.

When creating a subclass of OutputStream, this is the only write method that needs to be overloaded - the base class has methods for writing other types of data which use this to do the work.

Parameters
dataToWritethe target buffer to receive the data. This must not be null.
numberOfBytesthe number of bytes to write.
Returns
false if the write operation fails for some reason

Implements OutputStream.

◆ writeRepeatedByte()

bool FileOutputStream::writeRepeatedByte ( uint8 byte,
size_t numTimesToRepeat )
overridevirtual

Writes a byte to the output stream a given number of times.

Returns
false if the write operation fails for some reason
