`OutputStream` `asOutputStream()` Coerce this into an OutputStream if possible, or return null.
`void` `close()` Flushes and closes the IO object.
`boolean` `closed()` Return whether this file has been closed.

Field Detail

### CHUNK_SIZE

    public static final int CHUNK_SIZE

  The size of chunks read for readline

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### TextIOBase

    public TextIOBase(BufferedIOBase bufferedIO)

  Contruct a TextIOBase wrapping the given BufferedIOBase.

  Parameters:
    `bufferedIO` - a BufferedIOBase to wrap

Method Detail

### read

    public String read(int size)

  Read and return up to size bytes, contained in a String. Returns an empty String on EOF

  Parameters:
    `size` - the number of bytes to read
  Returns:
    a String containing the bytes read

### readall

    public String readall()

  Read until EOF.

  Returns:
    a String containing the bytes read

### readline

    public String readline(int size)

  Read until size, newline or EOF. Returns an empty string if EOF is hit immediately.

  Parameters:
    `size` - the number of bytes to read
  Returns:
    a String containing the bytes read

### readinto

    public int readinto(PyObject buf)

  Read into the given PyObject that implements the read-write buffer interface (currently just a PyArray).

  Parameters:
    `buf` - a PyObject implementing the read-write buffer interface
  Returns:
    the amount of data read as an int

### write

    public int write(String buf)

  Write the given String to the IO stream. Returns the number of characters written.

  Parameters:
    `buf` - a String value
  Returns:
    the number of characters written as an int

### truncate

    public long truncate(long pos)

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Truncate file to size in bytes. Returns the new size.

  Overrides:
    `truncate` in class `IOBase`
  Parameters:
    `pos` - a long size to truncate to
  Returns:
    a long size value the file was truncated to

### flush

    public void flush()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Flushes write buffers, if applicable. This is a no-op for read-only and non-blocking streams.

  Overrides:
    `flush` in class `IOBase`

### close

    public void close()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Flushes and closes the IO object. This must be idempotent. It should also set a flag for the 'closed' property (see below) to test.

  Overrides:
    `close` in class `IOBase`

### seek

    public long seek(long pos,
                     int whence)

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Seek to byte offset pos relative to position indicated by whence: 0 Start of stream (the default). pos should be >= 0; 1 Current position - whence may be negative; 2 End of stream - whence usually negative. Returns the new absolute position.

  Overrides:
    `seek` in class `IOBase`
  Parameters:
    `pos` - a long position value
    `whence` - an int whence value
  Returns:
    a long position value seeked to

### tell

    public long tell()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Return the current stream position.

  Overrides:
    `tell` in class `IOBase`
  Returns:
    a long position value

### fileno

    public RawIOBase fileno()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Returns underlying file descriptor if one exists. Raises IOError if the IO object does not use a file descriptor.

  Overrides:
    `fileno` in class `IOBase`
  Returns:
    a file descriptor

### isatty

    public boolean isatty()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Returns whether this is an 'interactive' stream. Returns False if we don't know.

  Overrides:
    `isatty` in class `IOBase`
  Returns:
    a boolean, true if an 'interactive' stream

### readable

    public boolean readable()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Return whether this file was opened for reading.

  Overrides:
    `readable` in class `IOBase`
  Returns:
    true if the file was opened for reading

### writable

    public boolean writable()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Return whether this file was opened for writing.

  Overrides:
    `writable` in class `IOBase`
  Returns:
    true if the file was opened for writing

### closed

    public boolean closed()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Return whether this file has been closed.

  Overrides:
    `closed` in class `IOBase`
  Returns:
    true if the file has been closed

### asInputStream

    public InputStream asInputStream()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Coerce this into an InputStream if possible, or return null.

  Overrides:
    `asInputStream` in class `IOBase`

### asOutputStream

    public OutputStream asOutputStream()

  Description copied from class: `IOBase`
  Coerce this into an OutputStream if possible, or return null.

  Overrides:
    `asOutputStream` in class `IOBase`

### getNewlines

    public PyObject getNewlines()

  Return the known Newline types, as a PyObject, encountered while reading this file. Returns None for all modes except universal newline mode.

  Returns:
    a PyObject containing all encountered Newlines, or None
