Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:Appendable [NONE]
All Known Implementing Classes: `BufferedWriter`, `CharArrayWriter`, `CharBuffer`, `FileWriter`, `FilterWriter`, `LogStream`, `OutputStreamWriter`, `PipedWriter`, `PrintStream`, `PrintWriter`, `StringBuffer`, `StringBuilder`, `StringWriter`, `Writer` public interface Appendable An object to which `char` sequences and values can be appended. The `Appendable` interface must be implemented by any class whose instances are intended to receive formatted output from a `Formatter`. The characters to be appended should be valid Unicode characters as described in Unicode Character Representation . Note that supplementary characters may be composed of multiple 16-bit `char` values. Appendables are not necessarily safe for multithreaded access. Thread safety is the responsibility of classes that extend and implement this interface. Since this interface may be implemented by existing classes with different styles of error handling there is no guarantee that errors will be propagated to the invoker. Since: 1.5

### method:append(java.lang.CharSequence) [NONE]
### append Appendable append (CharSequence csq) throws IOException Appends the specified character sequence to this `Appendable`. Depending on which class implements the character sequence `csq`, the entire sequence may not be appended. For instance, if `csq` is a `CharBuffer` then the subsequence to append is defined by the buffer's position and limit. Parameters: `csq` - The character sequence to append. If `csq` is `null`, then the four characters `"null"` are appended to this Appendable. Returns: A reference to this `Appendable` Throws: `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs

### method:append(java.lang.CharSequence,int,int) [NONE]
### append Appendable append (CharSequence csq, int start, int end) throws IOException Appends a subsequence of the specified character sequence to this `Appendable`. An invocation of this method of the form `out.append(csq, start, end)` when `csq` is not `null`, behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation
         out.append(csq.subSequence(start, end))
Parameters: `csq` - The character sequence from which a subsequence will be appended. If `csq` is `null`, then characters will be appended as if `csq` contained the four characters `"null"`. `start` - The index of the first character in the subsequence `end` - The index of the character following the last character in the subsequence Returns: A reference to this `Appendable` Throws: `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - If `start` or `end` are negative, `start` is greater than `end`, or `end` is greater than `csq.length()` `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs

### method:append(char) [NONE]
### append Appendable append (char c) throws IOException Appends the specified character to this `Appendable`. Parameters: `c` - The character to append Returns: A reference to this `Appendable` Throws: `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs
