* streams. These streams sit on top of an already existing output
* stream (the underlying output stream) which it uses as its
* basic sink of data, but possibly transforming the data along the
* way or providing additional functionality.
*
* The class FilterOutputStream itself simply overrides
* all methods of OutputStream with versions that pass
* all requests to the underlying output stream. Subclasses of
* FilterOutputStream may further override some of these
* methods as well as provide additional methods and fields.
