public PrintStream(OutputStream out) 
{
        this(out, false);
}

Creates a new print stream. This stream will not flush automatically.

Parameters:

out - The output stream to which values and objects will be printed

Also see:

java.io.PrintWriter#PrintWriter(java.io.OutputStream)

 public PrintStream(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException 
{
        this(false, new FileOutputStream(fileName));
}

Creates a new print stream, without automatic line flushing, with the specified file name. This convenience constructor creates the necessary intermediate OutputStreamWriter , which will encode characters using the {@linkplain java.nio.charset.Charset#defaultCharset() default charset} for this instance of the Java virtual machine.

Parameters:

fileName - The name of the file to use as the destination of this print stream. If the file exists, then it will be truncated to zero size; otherwise, a new file will be created. The output will be written to the file and is buffered.

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - If the given file object does not denote an existing, writable regular file and a new regular file of that name cannot be created, or if some other error occurs while opening or creating the file

SecurityException - If a security manager is present and checkWrite(fileName) denies write access to the file

 public PrintStream append(CharSequence csq) 
{
        if (csq == null)
            print("null");
        else
            print(csq.toString());
        return this;
}

Appends the specified character sequence to this output stream.

An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

    out.print(csq.toString()) 

Depending on the specification of toString for the character sequence csq, the entire sequence may not be appended. For instance, invoking then toString method of a character buffer will return a subsequence whose content depends upon the buffer's position and limit.

 public PrintStream append(char c) 
{
        print(c);
        return this;
}

Appends the specified character to this output stream.

An invocation of this method of the form out.append(c) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

    out.print(c) 

 public PrintStream append(CharSequence csq,
    int start,
    int end) 
{
        CharSequence cs = (csq == null ? "null" : csq);
        write(cs.subSequence(start, end).toString());
        return this;
}

Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this output stream.

An invocation of this method of the form out.append(csq, start, end) when csq is not null, behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

    out.print(csq.subSequence(start, end).toString()) 

 public boolean checkError() 
{
        if (out != null)
            flush();
        if (out instanceof java.io.PrintStream) {
            PrintStream ps = (PrintStream) out;
            return ps.checkError();
        }
        return trouble;
}

Flushes the stream and checks its error state. The internal error state is set to true when the underlying output stream throws an IOException other than InterruptedIOException, and when the setError method is invoked. If an operation on the underlying output stream throws an InterruptedIOException, then the PrintStream converts the exception back into an interrupt by doing:

    Thread.currentThread().interrupt();

or the equivalent.

 protected  void clearError() 
{
        trouble = false;
}

Clears the internal error state of this stream.

This method will cause subsequent invocations of #checkError() to return false until another write operation fails and invokes #setError() .

 public  void close() 
{
        synchronized (this) {
            if (! closing) {
                closing = true;
                try {
                    textOut.close();
                    out.close();
                }
                catch (IOException x) {
                    trouble = true;
                }
                textOut = null;
                charOut = null;
                out = null;
            }
        }
}

Closes the stream. This is done by flushing the stream and then closing the underlying output stream.

 public  void flush() 
{
        synchronized (this) {
            try {
                ensureOpen();
                out.flush();
            }
            catch (IOException x) {
                trouble = true;
            }
        }
}

Flushes the stream. This is done by writing any buffered output bytes to the underlying output stream and then flushing that stream.

 public PrintStream format(String format,
    Object args) 
{
        try {
            synchronized (this) {
                ensureOpen();
                if ((formatter == null)
                    || (formatter.locale() != Locale.getDefault()))
                    formatter = new Formatter((Appendable) this);
                formatter.format(Locale.getDefault(), format, args);
            }
        } catch (InterruptedIOException x) {
            Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
        } catch (IOException x) {
            trouble = true;
        }
        return this;
}

Writes a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.

The locale always used is the one returned by Locale.getDefault() , regardless of any previous invocations of other formatting methods on this object.

 public PrintStream format(Locale l,
    String format,
    Object args) 
{
        try {
            synchronized (this) {
                ensureOpen();
                if ((formatter == null)
                    || (formatter.locale() != l))
                    formatter = new Formatter(this, l);
                formatter.format(l, format, args);
            }
        } catch (InterruptedIOException x) {
            Thread.currentThread().interrupt();

            trouble = true;
        }
        return this;
}

 public  void print(boolean b) 
{
        write(b ? "true" : "false");

 public  void print(char c) 
{
        write(String.valueOf(c));
}

Prints a character. The character is translated into one or more bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the #write(int) method.

 public  void print(int i) 
{
        write(String.valueOf(i));
}

Prints an integer. The string produced by java.lang.String#valueOf(int) is translated into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the #write(int) method.

            s = "null";
        }
        write(s);
}

Prints a string. If the argument is null then the string "null" is printed. Otherwise, the string's characters are converted into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, and these bytes are written in exactly the manner of the #write(int) method.

            print(x);
            newLine();
        }
}

            print(s);
            newLine();
        }
}

Prints an Object and then terminate the line. This method calls at first String.valueOf(x) to get the printed object's string value, then behaves as though it invokes #print(String) and then #println() .

 protected  void setError() 
{
        trouble = true;
}

Sets the error state of the stream to true.

This method will cause subsequent invocations of #checkError() to return true until #clearError() is invoked.

        }
        catch (IOException x) {
            trouble = true;
        }
}

Writes the specified byte to this stream. If the byte is a newline and automatic flushing is enabled then the flush method will be invoked.

Note that the byte is written as given; to write a character that will be translated according to the platform's default character encoding, use the print(char) or println(char) methods.

 public  void write(byte[] buf,
    int off,
    int len) 
{
        try {
            synchronized (this) {

                out.write(buf, off, len);
                if (autoFlush)
                    out.flush();

            trouble = true;
        }
}
