    public class IOException

extends Exception

Signals that an I/O exception of some sort has occurred. This class is the general class of exceptions produced by failed or interrupted I/O operations.

  JDK1.0

  `InputStream`, `OutputStream`, Serialized Form

Constructor Summary
`IOException()` Constructs an `IOException` with `null` as its error detail message.
`IOException(String message)` Constructs an `IOException` with the specified detail message.
`IOException(String message, Throwable cause)` Constructs an `IOException` with the specified detail message and cause.
`IOException(Throwable cause)` Constructs an `IOException` with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`).

Method Summary

Constructor Detail

### IOException

    public IOException()

  Constructs an `IOException` with `null` as its error detail message.

### IOException

    public IOException(String message)

  Constructs an `IOException` with the specified detail message.

  Parameters:
    `message` - The detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method)

### IOException

    public IOException(String message,
                       Throwable cause)

  Constructs an `IOException` with the specified detail message and cause.

  Note that the detail message associated with `cause` is not automatically incorporated into this exception's detail message.

  Parameters:
    `message` - The detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method)
    `cause` - The cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
  Since:
    1.6

### IOException

    public IOException(Throwable cause)

  Constructs an `IOException` with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`). This constructor is useful for IO exceptions that are little more than wrappers for other throwables.

  Parameters:
    `cause` - The cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
  Since:
    1.6
