This Java article discusses the InputStream.close() function to close the input stream and free up system resources. The method java.io.InputStream.close() is used to close this input stream and release any system resources associated with the stream. This method requires no parameters and returns no value. Also, the IOException is thrown when an I/O error occurs. Problem StatementGiven an input stream, write a Java program to close this input stream and release any system resources associated with it. Ensure that the program handles any exceptions that may occur if the stream is already closed or an I/O error is ... Read More

A temporary file in the specified directory can be created using the method java.io.File.createTempFile(). This method requires three parameters i.e. the prefix to define the file name, the suffix to define the file extension and the directory in which the temporary file is to be created. It also returns the abstract path name for the temporary file created.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Exampleimport java.io.File; public class Demo {      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {       File directory = new File("C:/JavaProgram");       File file = File.createTempFile("temp", ".java", directory);   ...

A temporary file with the specified extension suffix can be created using the method java.io.File.createTempFile(). This method requires two parameters i.e. the prefix to define the file name and the suffix to define the file extension. It also returns the abstract path name for the temporary file created.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Example Live Demoimport java.io.File; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {       File file = File.createTempFile("temp", ".java");       System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());       file.deleteOnExit();      } }The output of the above program is as follows ...

This method requires two parameters i.e. the prefix to define the file name and the suffix to define the file extension. It also returns the abstract path name for the temporary file created.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Example Live Demoimport java.io.File; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {       File file = File.createTempFile("temp", null);       System.out.println(file.getAbsolutePath());       file.deleteOnExit();    } }The output of the above program is as follows −OutputC:\Users\amit_\AppData\Local\Temp\temp6072597842246154962.tmpNow let us understand the above ...

The method java.lang.System.getProperty() is used to obtain the system property. This system property is specified by the key which is the parameter for the method. To obtain the current working directory, the key used is user.dir.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Example Live Demopublic class Demo {    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {       String currentDirectory = System.getProperty("user.dir");       System.out.println("The current working directory is " + currentDirectory);    } }The output of the above program is as follows −OutputThe current working directory is c:\JavaProgramNow let us understand the above program.The current ...

The method java.io.File.list() is used to obtain the list of the files and directories in the specified directory defined by its path name. This list of files is stored in a string array. If the length of this string array is greater than 0, then the specified directory is not empty. Otherwise, it is empty.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Example Live Demoimport java.io.File; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       File directory = new File("C:\JavaProgram");       if (directory.isDirectory()) {          String[] files = directory.list();   ...

The method java.io.File.renameTo() is used to rename a file or directory. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the name that the file or directory is renamed to and it returns true on the success of the renaming or false otherwise.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Example Live Demoimport java.io.File; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       try {          File file1 = new File("demo1.txt");          File file2 = new File("demo2.txt");          file1.createNewFile();          file2.createNewFile();         ...

A file can be set to read-only by using the method java.io.File.setReadOnly(). This method requires no parameters and it returns true if the file is set to read-only and false otherwise. The method java.io.File.canWrite() is used to check whether the file can be written to in Java and if not, then the file is confirmed to be read-only.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Example Live Demoimport java.io.File; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       boolean flag;       try {          File file = new File("demo1.txt");   ...

A file or directory can be deleted on termination of the program i.e. after the virtual machine terminates using the method java.io.File.deleteOnExit(). This method requires no parameters and it does not return a value.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Example Live Demoimport java.io.File; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       try {          File file = new File("demo1.txt");          file.createNewFile();          System.out.println("File: " + file);          file.deleteOnExit();       } catch(Exception e) {          e.printStackTrace(); ...

The contents of a directory can be obtained using the method java.io.File.listFiles(). This method requires no parameters and it returns the abstract path names that specify the files and directories in the required directory.A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −Exampleimport java.io.File; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       File directory = new File("C:\JavaProgram");       File[] contents = directory.listFiles();       for (File c : contents) {          if(c.isFile())             System.out.println(c + " is a file");         ...
