The methods of the TarOutputStream class are listed below. For a complete list of TarOutputStream class members, see the TarOutputStream Members topic.
Public Instance Methods
 BeginRead (inherited from Stream) | Begins an asynchronous read operation. |
| BeginWrite (inherited from Stream) | Begins an asynchronous write operation. |
| Close | Ends the TAR archive and closes the underlying OutputStream. This means that finish() is called followed by calling the TarBuffer's close(). |
| CloseEntry | Close an entry. This method MUST be called for all file entries that contain data. The reason is that we must buffer data written to the stream in order to satisfy the buffer's block based writes. Thus, there may be data fragments still being assembled that must be written to the output stream before this entry is closed and the next entry written. |
| CreateObjRef (inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. |
| EndRead (inherited from Stream) | Waits for the pending asynchronous read to complete. |
| EndWrite (inherited from Stream) | Ends an asynchronous write operation. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| Finish | Ends the TAR archive without closing the underlying OutputStream. The result is that the EOF record of nulls is written. |
| Flush | All buffered data is written to destination |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. |
| GetRecordSize | Get the record size being used by this stream's TarBuffer. |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| InitializeLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. |
| PutNextEntry | Put an entry on the output stream. This writes the entry's header and positions the output stream for writing the contents of the entry. Once this method is called, the stream is ready for calls to write() to write the entry's contents. Once the contents are written, closeEntry() MUST be called to ensure that all buffered data is completely written to the output stream. |
| Read | read bytes from the current stream and advance the position within the stream by the number of bytes read. |
| ReadByte | Read a byte from the stream and advance the position within the stream by one byte or returns -1 if at the end of the stream. |
| Seek | set the position within the current stream |
| SetLength | set the length of the current stream |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
| Write | Writes bytes to the current tar archive entry. This method is aware of the current entry and will throw an exception if you attempt to write bytes past the length specified for the current entry. The method is also (painfully) aware of the record buffering required by TarBuffer, and manages buffers that are not a multiple of recordsize in length, including assembling records from small buffers. |
| WriteByte | Writes a byte to the current tar archive entry. This method simply calls Write(byte[], int, int). |
Protected Instance Methods
 CreateWaitHandle (inherited from Stream) | Allocates a WaitHandle object. |
| Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
