Creates a PipedReader so that it is connected to the piped writer src. Data written to src will then be available as input from this stream.
Params:
  • src – the stream to connect to.
Throws:

Creates a PipedReader so that it is connected to the piped writer src and uses the specified pipe size for the pipe's buffer. Data written to src will then be available as input from this stream.
Params:

Throws:

Causes this piped reader to be connected to the piped writer src. If this object is already connected to some other piped writer, an IOException is thrown.

If src is an unconnected piped writer and snk is an unconnected piped reader, they may be connected by either the call:

snk.connect(src) 

or the call:

src.connect(snk) 

The two calls have the same effect.

Params:
  • src – The piped writer to connect to.
Throws:
/** * Causes this piped reader to be connected * to the piped writer {@code src}. * If this object is already connected to some * other piped writer, an {@code IOException} * is thrown. * <p> * If {@code src} is an * unconnected piped writer and {@code snk} * is an unconnected piped reader, they * may be connected by either the call: * * <pre>{@code snk.connect(src)} </pre> * <p> * or the call: * * <pre>{@code src.connect(snk)} </pre> * <p> * The two calls have the same effect. * * @param src The piped writer to connect to. * @throws IOException if an I/O error occurs. */
