public class OWFileOutputStream

extends OutputStream

A 1-Wire file output stream is an output stream for writing data to a OWFile or to a OWFileDescriptor. Whether or not a file is available or may be created depends upon the underlying platform. This platform allows a file to be opened for writing by only one OWFileOutputStream (or other file-writing object) at a time. In such situations the constructors in this class will fail if the file involved is already open. The 1-Wire File system must be formatted before use. Use OWFile:format to prepare a device or group of devices.

The 1-Wire device will only be written in the following situations

• use getFD() and call the sync() method of the OWFileDescriptor until a SyncFailedException is NOT thrown
• if the device runs out of memory during a write, before IOException is thrown
• by calling close()
• in finalize() WARNING could deadlock if device not synced and inside beginExclusive/endExclusive block.

Note that the 1-Wire File system can reside across multiple 1-Wire devices. In this case only one of the devices need be supplied to the constructor. Each device in a multi-device file system contains information to reacquire the entire list.

File and directory name limitations

• File/directory names limited to 4 characters not including extension
• File/directory names are not case sensitive and will be automatically changed to all-CAPS
• Only files can have extensions
• Extensions are numberical in the range 0 to 125
• Extensions 100 to 125 are special purpose and not yet implemented or allowed
• Files can have the read-only attribute
• Directories can have the hidden attribute
• It is recommended to limit directory depth to 10 levels to accomodate legacy implementations

Usage

Example

Write to a 1-Wire file on device 'owd':

 
   // create a 1-Wire file at root
   OWFileOutputStream outstream = new OWFileOutputStream(owd, "DEMO.0");

   // write the data (in a byte array data[])
   outstream.write(data);

   // get 1-Wire File descriptor to flush to device
   OWFileDescriptor owfd = owfile.getFD();

   // loop until sync is successful
   do
   {
      try
      {
         owfd.sync();
         done = true;
      }
      catch (SyncFailedException e)
      {
         // do something
         ...
         done = false;
      }
   }
   while (!done)

   // close the stream to release system resources
   outstream.close();

Constructor Detail

OWFileOutputStream

public OWFileOutputStream(OneWireContainer owd,
                          String name)
                   throws OWFileNotFoundException

Creates an output file stream to write to the file with the specified name. A new OWFileDescriptor object is created to represent this file connection.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkWrite method is called with name as its argument.

If the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason then a FileNotFoundException is thrown.

Parameters:

owd - OneWireContainer that this Filesystem resides on

name - the system-dependent filename

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - if the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkWrite method denies write access to the file.

OWFileOutputStream

public OWFileOutputStream(OneWireContainer[] owd,

Creates an output file stream to write to the file with the specified name. A new OWFileDescriptor object is created to represent this file connection.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkWrite method is called with name as its argument.

If the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason then a FileNotFoundException is thrown.

Parameters:

owd - array of OneWireContainers that this Filesystem resides on

name - the system-dependent filename

Throws:

                   throws OWFileNotFoundException

Creates an output file stream to write to the file with the specified name. If the second argument is true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning. A new OWFileDescriptor object is created to represent this file connection.
