## Class DemuxOutputStream

- java.lang.Object
- - java.io.OutputStream
  - - org.apache.tools.ant.DemuxOutputStream

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable, java.lang.AutoCloseable

      public class DemuxOutputStream
      extends java.io.OutputStream

  Logs content written by a thread and forwards the buffers onto the project object which will forward the content to the appropriate task.
  Since:
    1.4

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | `close()` Equivalent to flushing the stream.
    `void` | `flush()` Writes all remaining data in the buffer associated with the current thread to the project.
    `protected void` | `processBuffer(java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream buffer)` Converts the buffer to a string and sends it to the project.
    `protected void` | `processFlush(java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream buffer)` Converts the buffer to a string and sends it to the project.
    `void` | `write(byte[] b, int off, int len)` Write a block of characters to the output stream
    `void` | `write(int cc)` Writes the data to the buffer and flushes the buffer if a line separator is detected or if the buffer has reached its maximum size.

    - #### DemuxOutputStream

          public DemuxOutputStream(Project project,
                           boolean isErrorStream)

      Creates a new instance of this class.
      Parameters:
        `project` - The project instance for which output is being demultiplexed. Must not be `null`.
        `isErrorStream` - `true` if this is the error string, otherwise a normal output stream. This is passed to the project so it knows which stream it is receiving.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### write

          public void write(int cc)
                     throws java.io.IOException

      Writes the data to the buffer and flushes the buffer if a line separator is detected or if the buffer has reached its maximum size.
      Specified by:
        `write` in class `java.io.OutputStream`
      Parameters:
        `cc` - data to log (byte).
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - if the data cannot be written to the stream

    - #### processBuffer

          protected void processBuffer(java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream buffer)

      Converts the buffer to a string and sends it to the project.
      Parameters:
        `buffer` - the ByteArrayOutputStream used to collect the output until a line separator is seen.
      See Also:
        `Project.demuxOutput(String,boolean)`

    - #### processFlush

          protected void processFlush(java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream buffer)

      Converts the buffer to a string and sends it to the project.
      Parameters:
        `buffer` - the ByteArrayOutputStream used to collect the output until a line separator is seen.
      See Also:
        `Project.demuxOutput(String,boolean)`

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws java.io.IOException

      Equivalent to flushing the stream.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `java.io.Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `java.lang.AutoCloseable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `java.io.OutputStream`
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - if there is a problem closing the stream.
      See Also:
        `flush()`

    - #### flush

          public void flush()
                     throws java.io.IOException

      Overrides:
        `flush` in class `java.io.OutputStream`
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException` - if there is a problem flushing the stream.

    - #### write

          public void write(byte[] b,
                   int off,
                   int len)
                     throws java.io.IOException
