Syntax

public final void writeUTF( String str ) throws IOException

Parameters

str: a string to be written.

Description

Writes a string to the underlying output stream using UTF-8 encoding in a machine-independent manner.

First, two bytes are written to the output stream as if by the writeShort method giving the number of bytes to follow. This value is the number of bytes actually written out, not the length of the string. Following the length, each character of the string is output, in sequence, using the UTF-8 encoding for the character.

Exceptions

IOException if an I/O error occurs.
