Java RandomAccessFile class

Introduction

RandomAccessFile is for a random-access file.

It is not derived from InputStream or OutputStream.

It implements the interfaces DataInput and DataOutput.

It also implements the AutoCloseable and Closeable interfaces.

RandomAccessFile supports positioning requests, we can position the file pointer within the file.

It has these two constructors:

RandomAccessFile(File fileObj , String access)  
      throws FileNotFoundException 
RandomAccessFile(String filename , String access)  
      throws FileNotFoundException 

The method seek() can set the current position of the file pointer within the file:

void seek(long  newPos) throws IOException
