Parameters:

s - String specifying a log file to be appended

max - Suggests a maximum file size

Method Detail

close

public void close()

Closes the stream.

Overrides:

close in class OutputStream

finalize

protected void finalize()

Description copied from class: Object

Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. A subclass overrides the finalize method to dispose of system resources or to perform other cleanup.

Any exception thrown by the finalize method causes the finalization of this object to be halted, but is otherwise ignored.

The finalize method in Object does nothing.

Overrides:

finalize in class Object

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException

Specified by:

flush in class OutputStream

Throws:

IOException - ?

write

public void write(int ch)
           throws IOException

Writes a character/byte to the output stream.

Specified by:

write in class OutputStream

Parameters:

ch - character to be written?

Throws:

IOException

write

public void write(byte[] bytes)
           throws IOException

Writes a byte[] to the output stream.

Overrides:

write in class OutputStream

Parameters:

bytes - Array of bytes to be written

Throws:

IOException

write

public void write(byte[] bytes,
                  int ofs,
                  int cnt)
           throws IOException

Writes a byte array to the stream.

Overrides:

write in class OutputStream

Parameters:

bytes - array of bytes containing the data to be written.?

ofs - Offset into the byte array locating the data

cnt - Count of bytes from the array to be written.

Throws:

IOException
