      • StreamCopyThread

        public StreamCopyThread​(InputStream i,
                                OutputStream o)
        Create a thread to copy data from an input stream to an output stream.
        Parameters:

    • Method Detail

      • flush

        public void flush()
        Request the thread to flush the output stream as soon as possible.

        This is an asynchronous request to the thread. The actual flush will happen at some future point in time, when the thread wakes up to process the request.

      • halt

        public void halt()
                  throws InterruptedException
        Request that the thread terminate, and wait for it.

        This method signals to the copy thread that it should stop as soon as there is no more IO occurring.

        Throws:
        InterruptedException - the calling thread was interrupted.
