Field Detail

NULLOUT

public static final SafeOutputStream NULLOUT

An OutputStream which discards all data written to it. Each write method of this OutputStream does nothing, as does the close and flush methods. This can be useful if you are forced to use an OutputStream, but do not particuarly write the data anywhere. No IOException will be thrown upon invocation on any methods, including if you close the stream and then attempt to write to it.
