public NBitOutputStream(OutputStream os) 
{
        out = os;
        currentByte = 0;
        positionInCurrentByte = 7;
}

Constructor.

Parameters:

os - The output stream to write to.

 public  void close() throws IOException 
{
        if( positionInCurrentByte <  7 )
        {
            out.write( currentByte );
        }
}

This will close the stream.

 public int getBitsInChunk() 
{
        return bitsInChunk;
}

Getter for property bitsToRead.

 public  void setBitsInChunk(int bitsInChunkValue) 
{
        bitsInChunk = bitsInChunkValue;
}

Setter for property bitsToRead.

 public  void write(long chunk) throws IOException 
{
        long bitToWrite;
        for( int i=(bitsInChunk-1); i >=0; i-- )
        {
            bitToWrite = (chunk  > > i) & 0x1;
            bitToWrite < < = positionInCurrentByte;
            currentByte |= bitToWrite;
            positionInCurrentByte--;
            if( positionInCurrentByte <  0 )
            {
                out.write( currentByte );
                currentByte = 0;
                positionInCurrentByte = 7;
            }
        }
}

This will write the next n-bits to the stream.
