Since the scalax.io.OutputConverter object defined for writing Ints encodes Ints using 4 bytes this method is provided to simply write an array of Ints as if they are Bytes. In other words just taking the first byte. This is pretty common in Java.io style IO. IE

Read the input as blocks of bytes.
Read the input as blocks of bytes. This method should be avoided unless the maximum performance is absolutely required because bytes provides very good performance and is a better API for most applications.
However since it better reflects how data is read with most input sources (like InputStreams and ReadableByteChannels); blocks is slightly more performance than bytes and therefore can be used when performance is the most important consideration.
block size can optionally be specified but the default is normally acceptable.

Inserts data at a position in the Seekable.
Inserts data at a position in the Seekable. The actual position in the Seekable where the data is inserted depends on the type of data being written. For example if Longs are being written then position calculated as position * 8

Inserts a string at a position in the Seekable.

Execute the function 'f' passing an Output instance that performs all operations on a single opened connection to the underlying resource.
Execute the function 'f' passing an Output instance that performs all operations on a single opened connection to the underlying resource. Typically each call to one of the Output's methods results in a new connection. For example if the underlying OutputStream truncates the file each time the connection is made then calling write two times will result in the contents of the second write overwriting the second write.
Even if the underlying resource is an appending, using open will be more efficient since the connection only needs to be made a single time.

Update a portion of the file content at the declared location.
Update a portion of the file content at the declared location. This is the most flexible of the random access methods but is also (probably) the trickiest to fully understand. That said it behaves (almost) identical to a scala.collection.Seq.patch method, so if you understand that you should not have difficulty understanding this method.

To append data the position must >= size
If the position is within the file but the

that the entire string can fit in the file
The write begins at the position indicated. So if position = 0 then the write will begin at the first byte of the file.
The start position of the update starting at 0. The position must be within the file or == size (for appending)

Write data to the underlying object.
Write data to the underlying object. Each time write is called the resource is reopened, in the case of a file this means that the file will be opened and truncated. The
In the case of writing ints and bytes it is often recommended to write arrays of data since normally the underlying object can write arrays of bytes or integers most efficiently.
Since Characters require a codec to write to an OutputStream characters cannot be written with this method unless a OutputWriterFunction.CharFunction object is provided as the writer.

An object for reading and writing to Random Access IO objects such as Files.
In addition to the methods contributed by scalax.io.Input and scalax.io.Output patch, insert and append are provided as more random access style operations.
Note: The methods in scalax.io.Output are always fully destructive. IE write will replace all data in the file, insert, patch or append are your friends if that is not the behaviour you want.
