public class Pipe
extends java.lang.Object

This class links input and output streams so that data taken from input stream is transfered to the output stream. This class can be used to connect standard input/ouput stream of Java application with output/input streams of spawned child process, so that all user's input is redirected to the child and all it's output is visible for the user.

This class starts a thread, which transfers data from input stream to output stream until End Of File is reached or IOException caused by IO error is catched.

Field Summary

static int

defaultBufferSize Default size of buffer used to transfer data from the input stream to the output stream.
