    Classes in java.io that implement Flushable
    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `class` | `BufferedOutputStream` The class implements a buffered output stream.
    `class` | `BufferedWriter` Writes text to a character-output stream, buffering characters so as to provide for the efficient writing of single characters, arrays, and strings.
    `class` | `ByteArrayOutputStream` This class implements an output stream in which the data is written into a byte array.
    `class` | `CharArrayWriter` This class implements a character buffer that can be used as an Writer.
    `class` | `Console` Methods to access the character-based console device, if any, associated with the current Java virtual machine.
    `class` | `DataOutputStream` A data output stream lets an application write primitive Java data types to an output stream in a portable way.
    `class` | `FileOutputStream` A file output stream is an output stream for writing data to a `File` or to a `FileDescriptor`.
    `class` | `FileWriter` Convenience class for writing character files.
    `class` | `FilterOutputStream` This class is the superclass of all classes that filter output streams.
    `class` | `FilterWriter` Abstract class for writing filtered character streams.
    `class` | `ObjectOutputStream` An ObjectOutputStream writes primitive data types and graphs of Java objects to an OutputStream.
    `class` | `OutputStream` This abstract class is the superclass of all classes representing an output stream of bytes.
    `class` | `OutputStreamWriter` An OutputStreamWriter is a bridge from character streams to byte streams: Characters written to it are encoded into bytes using a specified `charset`.
    `class` | `PipedOutputStream` A piped output stream can be connected to a piped input stream to create a communications pipe.
    `class` | `PipedWriter` Piped character-output streams.
    `class` | `PrintStream` A `PrintStream` adds functionality to another output stream, namely the ability to print representations of various data values conveniently.
    `class` | `PrintWriter` Prints formatted representations of objects to a text-output stream.
    `class` | `StringWriter` A character stream that collects its output in a string buffer, which can then be used to construct a string.
    `class` | `Writer` Abstract class for writing to character streams.
