## Class TupleOutput

- java.lang.Object
- - java.io.OutputStream

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

      public class TupleOutput
      extends FastOutputStream

  An `OutputStream` with `DataOutput`-like methods for writing tuple fields. It is used by `TupleBinding`.

  This class has many methods that have the same signatures as methods in the `DataOutput` interface. The reason this class does not implement `DataOutput` is because it would break the interface contract for those methods because of data format differences.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### TupleOutput

          public TupleOutput()

      Creates a tuple output object for writing a byte array of tuple data.

    - #### TupleOutput

          public TupleOutput(byte[] buffer)

      Creates a tuple output object for writing a byte array of tuple data, using a given buffer. A new buffer will be allocated only if the number of bytes needed is greater than the length of this buffer. A reference to the byte array will be kept by this object and therefore the byte array should not be modified while this object is in use.
      Parameters:
        `buffer` - is the byte array to use as the buffer.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### writeBytes

          public final TupleOutput writeBytes(java.lang.String val)

      Writes the specified bytes to the buffer, converting each character to an unsigned byte value. Writes values that can be read using `TupleInput.readBytes(int)`.
      Parameters:

      Returns:
        this tuple output object.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the val parameter is null.
