#### reset

    public void reset(byte[] bytes,
                      int offset,
                      int len)

#### getPosition

    public int getPosition()

#### writeByte

    public void writeByte(byte b)

Description copied from class: `DataOutput`
Writes a single byte.

The most primitive data type is an eight-bit byte. Files are accessed as sequences of bytes. All other data types are defined as sequences of bytes, so file formats are byte-order independent.

Specified by:
  `writeByte` in class `DataOutput`
See Also:
  `DataInput.readByte()`

#### writeBytes

    public void writeBytes(byte[] b,
                           int offset,
                           int length)

Description copied from class: `DataOutput`
Writes an array of bytes.

Specified by:
  `writeBytes` in class `DataOutput`
Parameters:
  `b` - the bytes to write
  `offset` - the offset in the byte array
  `length` - the number of bytes to write
See Also:
  `DataInput.readBytes(byte[],int,int)`
