## Constructor Details

### FileImageOutputStream

public FileImageOutputStream(File f) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
Constructs a `FileImageOutputStream` that will write to a given `File`.

Parameters:
  `f` - a `File` to write to.
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if `f` is `null`.
  `FileNotFoundException` - if `f` does not denote a regular file or it cannot be opened for reading and writing for any other reason.
  `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### FileImageOutputStream

public FileImageOutputStream(RandomAccessFile raf)
Constructs a `FileImageOutputStream` that will write to a given `RandomAccessFile`.

Parameters:
  `raf` - a `RandomAccessFile` to write to.
Throws:
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if `raf` is `null`.

## Method Details

### read

public int read() throws IOException
Description copied from class: `ImageInputStreamImpl`
Reads a single byte from the stream and returns it as an `int` between 0 and 255. If EOF is reached, `-1` is returned.

Subclasses must provide an implementation for this method. The subclass implementation should update the stream position before exiting.

The bit offset within the stream must be reset to zero before the read occurs.

Specified by:
  `read` in interface `ImageInputStream`
Specified by:
  `read` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
Returns:
  the value of the next byte in the stream, or `-1` if EOF is reached.
Throws:
  `IOException` - if the stream has been closed.

### read

public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
Description copied from class: `ImageInputStreamImpl`
Reads up to `len` bytes from the stream, and stores them into `b` starting at index `off`. If no bytes can be read because the end of the stream has been reached, `-1` is returned.

The bit offset within the stream must be reset to zero before the read occurs.

Subclasses must provide an implementation for this method. The subclass implementation should update the stream position before exiting.

Specified by:
  `read` in interface `ImageInputStream`
Specified by:
  `read` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
Parameters:
  `b` - an array of bytes to be written to.
  `off` - the starting position within `b` to write to.
  `len` - the maximum number of bytes to read.
Returns:
  the number of bytes actually read, or `-1` to indicate EOF.
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### write

public void write(int b) throws IOException
Description copied from interface: `ImageOutputStream`
Writes a single byte to the stream at the current position. The 24 high-order bits of `b` are ignored.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write. Implementers can use the `flushBits` method of `ImageOutputStreamImpl` to guarantee this.

Parameters:
  `b` - an `int` whose lower 8 bits are to be written.
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### write

public void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
Description copied from interface: `ImageOutputStream`
Writes a sequence of bytes to the stream at the current position. If `len` is 0, nothing is written. The byte `b[off]` is written first, then the byte `b[off + 1]`, and so on.

If the bit offset within the stream is non-zero, the remainder of the current byte is padded with 0s and written out first. The bit offset will be 0 after the write. Implementers can use the `flushBits` method of `ImageOutputStreamImpl` to guarantee this.

Parameters:
  `b` - an array of `byte`s to be written.
  `off` - the start offset in the data.
  `len` - the number of `byte`s to write.
Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### length

public long length()
Description copied from class: `ImageInputStreamImpl`
Returns `-1L` to indicate that the stream has unknown length. Subclasses must override this method to provide actual length information.

Specified by:
  `length` in interface `ImageInputStream`
Overrides:
  `length` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
Returns:
  -1L to indicate unknown length.

### seek

public void seek(long pos) throws IOException
Sets the current stream position and resets the bit offset to 0. It is legal to seeking past the end of the file; an `EOFException` will be thrown only if a read is performed. The file length will not be increased until a write is performed.

Parameters:
  `pos` - a `long` containing the desired file pointer position.
Throws:
  `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `pos` is smaller than the flushed position.
  `IOException` - if any other I/O error occurs.

### close

public void close() throws IOException
Description copied from interface: `ImageInputStream`
Closes the stream. Attempts to access a stream that has been closed may result in `IOException`s or incorrect behavior. Calling this method may allow classes implementing this interface to release resources associated with the stream such as memory, disk space, or file descriptors.

Throws:
  `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### finalize

@Deprecated(since="9", forRemoval=true) protected void finalize() throws Throwable
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
Finalization has been deprecated for removal. See `Object.finalize()` for background information and details about migration options.
Finalizes this object prior to garbage collection. The `close` method is called to close any open input source. This method should not be called from application code.

Overrides:
  `finalize` in class `ImageInputStreamImpl`
Throws:
  `Throwable` - if an error occurs during superclass finalization.
