PrintStream PrintStream(OutputStream, boolean) in Java

PrintStream(OutputStream, boolean): This method is available in the java.io.PrintStream class of Java.

Syntax:

java.io.PrintStream.PrintStream(OutputStream out, boolean autoFlush)

This method takes two arguments. This method creates a new print stream, with the specified OutputStream and line flushing.

Characters written to the stream are converted to bytes using the platform's default character encoding.

Parameters: Two parameters are required for this method.

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

autoFlush: Whether the output buffer will be flushed whenever a byte array is written, one of the println methods is invoked, or a newline character or byte ('\n') is written.

Exceptions: NA

Approach

Java

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.PrintStream;

public class PrintStreamPrintStream6 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        File file = new File("D:\\hello.txt");

        OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
        boolean autoFlush = false;
        PrintStream printStream = 
                      new PrintStream(out, autoFlush);

        System.out.println(printStream);
        printStream.close();
    }
}

Output:

java.io.PrintStream@182decdb

append(char): This method appends the specified character to this output stream.

append(CharSequence): This method appends the specified character sequence to this output stream.

append(CharSequence, int, int): This method appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this output stream.

checkError(): This method flushes the stream and checks its error state.

close(): This is done by flushing the stream and then closing the underlying output stream.

flush(): This method flushes the stream.

format(String, Object...): This method writes a formatted string to this output stream using the specified format string and arguments.
