java.lang.Object | +--java.io.RandomAccessFile
Instances of this class support both reading and writing to a
random access file. A random access file behaves like a large
array of bytes stored in the file system. There is a kind of cursor,
or index into the implied array, called the file pointer;
input operations read bytes starting at the file pointer and advance
the file pointer past the bytes read. If the random access file is
created in read/write mode, then output operations are also available;
output operations write bytes starting at the file pointer and advance
the file pointer past the bytes written. Output operations that write
past the current end of the implied array cause the array to be
extended. The file pointer can be read by the
getFilePointer method and set by the seek
method.
It is generally true of all the reading routines in this class that
if end-of-file is reached before the desired number of bytes has been
read, an EOFException (which is a kind of
IOException) is thrown. If any byte cannot be read for
any reason other than end-of-file, an IOException other
than EOFException is thrown. In particular, an
IOException may be thrown if the stream has been closed.

public RandomAccessFile(String name,
String mode)
throws FileNotFoundException
FileDescriptor object is created to represent the
connection to the file.
The mode argument must either be equal to "r" or
"rw", indicating that the file is to be opened for
input only or for both input and output, respectively. The
write methods on this object will always throw an
IOException if the file is opened with a mode of
"r". If the mode is "rw" and the
file does not exist, then an attempt is made to create it.
An IOException is thrown if the name argument
refers to a directory.
If there is a security manager, its checkRead method
is called with the name argument
as its argument to see if read access to the file is allowed.
If the mode is "rw", the security manager's
checkWrite method
is also called with the name argument
as its argument to see if write access to the file is allowed.
