Class Base64OutputStream

java.lang.Object
  java.io.OutputStream
      java.io.FilterOutputStream
          gnu.mail.util.Base64OutputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable

Direct Known Subclasses:

BOutputStream

public class Base64OutputStream
extends java.io.FilterOutputStream

A Base64 content transfer encoding filter stream.

From RFC 2045, section 6.8:

The Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding is designed to represent arbitrary sequences of octets in a form that need not be humanly readable. The encoding and decoding algorithms are simple, but the encoded data are consistently only about 33 percent larger than the unencoded data.

Constructor Summary

Base64OutputStream(java.io.OutputStream out)
Default constructor.

Base64OutputStream(java.io.OutputStream out, int lineLength)
Constructor.

Method Summary

void	close() Closes this output stream and releases any system resources associated with this stream.
void	flush() Flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output bytes to be written out.
void	write(byte[] b) Writes b.length bytes from the specified byte array to this output stream.
void	write(byte[] b, int off, int len) Writes len bytes from the specified byte array starting at offset off to this output stream.
void	write(int c) Writes the specified byte to this output stream.
