Class IOBase

java.lang.Object
org.python.core.io.IOBase
Direct Known Subclasses:
BufferedIOBase, RawIOBase, TextIOBase

public abstract class IOBase extends Object
Base class for all I/O classes. IOBase and its descendents in org.python.core.io are based off Python 3's new io module (PEP 3116). This does not define read(), readinto() and write(), nor readline() and friends, since their signatures vary per layer.

    • seek

      public long seek(long pos)
      Seek to byte offset pos relative to the start of the stream. Returns the new absolute position.
      Parameters:
      pos - a long position value
      Returns:
      a long position value seeked to
    • seek

      public long seek(long pos, int whence)
      Seek to byte offset pos relative to position indicated by whence.
      Semantics
      whence Seek to pos
      0 Start of stream (the default).Should be ≥0.
      1 Current position + pos Either sign.
      2 End of stream + pos Usually ≤0.
      Returns the new absolute position.
      Parameters:
      pos - a long position value
      whence - an int whence value
      Returns:
      a long position value seeked to
    • tell

      public long tell()
      Return the current stream position.
      Returns:
      a long position value
    • truncate

      public long truncate(long size)
      Truncate file to size in bytes. Returns the new size.
      Parameters:
      size - a long size to truncate to
      Returns:
      a long size value the file was truncated to
    • flush

      public void flush()
      Flushes write buffers, if applicable. This is a no-op for read-only and non-blocking streams.
    • close

      public void close()
      Flushes and closes the IO object. This must be idempotent. It should also set a flag for the 'closed' property (see below) to test.
    • fileno

      public RawIOBase fileno()
      Returns underlying file descriptor if one exists. Raises IOError if the IO object does not use a file descriptor.
      Returns:
      a file descriptor
    • isatty

      public boolean isatty()
      Returns whether this is an 'interactive' stream. Returns False if we don't know.
      Returns:
      a boolean, true if an 'interactive' stream
    • readable

      public boolean readable()
      Return whether this file was opened for reading.
      Returns:
      true if the file was opened for reading
    • checkReadable

      public void checkReadable()
      Raise an IOError if the file is not readable.
    • writable

      public boolean writable()
      Return whether this file was opened for writing.
      Returns:
      true if the file was opened for writing
    • checkWritable

      public void checkWritable()
      Raise an IOError if the file is not writable.
    • closed

      public boolean closed()
      Return whether this file has been closed.
      Returns:
      true if the file has been closed
    • checkClosed

      public void checkClosed()
      Raise a ValueError if the file is closed.
    • asOutputStream

      public OutputStream asOutputStream()
      Coerce this into an OutputStream if possible, or return null.
    • asInputStream

      public InputStream asInputStream()
      Coerce this into an InputStream if possible, or return null.
