public final class FileDescriptor
extends Object
Instances of the file descriptor class serve as an opaque handle
to the underlying machine-specific structure representing an open
file or an open socket.
Applications should not create their own file descriptors.
See Also:
FileInputStream, FileOutputStream, SocketInputStream, SocketOutputStream
err
A handle to the standard error stream.
in
A handle to the standard input stream.
out
A handle to the standard output stream.
FileDescriptor()
sync()
Force all system buffers to synchronize with the underlying
device.
valid()
Tests if this file descriptor object is valid.
in
public static final FileDescriptor in
A handle to the standard input stream.
out
public static final FileDescriptor out
A handle to the standard output stream.
err
public static final FileDescriptor err
A handle to the standard error stream.
FileDescriptor
public FileDescriptor()
valid
public native boolean valid()
Tests if this file descriptor object is valid.
Returns:
true if the file descriptor object represents a
valid, open file or socket; false otherwise.
sync
public native void sync() throws SyncFailedException
Force all system buffers to synchronize with the underlying
device. This method returns after all modified data and
attributes of this FileDescriptor have been written to the
relevant device(s). In particular, if this FileDescriptor
refers to a physical storage medium, such as a file in a file
system, sync will not return until all in-memory modified copies
of buffers associated with this FileDesecriptor have been
written to the physical medium.
sync is meant to be used by code that requires physical
storage (such as a file) to be in a known state For
example, a class that provided a simple transaction facility
might use sync to ensure that all changes to a file caused
by a given transaction were recorded on a storage medium.
sync only affects buffers downstream of this FileDescriptor. If
any in-memory buffering is being done by the application (for
example, by a BufferedOutputStream object), those buffers must
be flushed into the FileDescriptor (for example, by invoking
OutputStream.flush) before that data will be affected by sync.
Throws: SyncFailedException
Thrown when the buffers cannot be flushed,
or because the system cannot guarantee that all the
buffers have been synchronized with physical media.
