PipedOutputStream flush() in Java

flush(): This method is available in the java.io.PipedOutputStream class of Java.

Syntax:

void java.io.PipedOutputStream.flush() throws IOException

This method flushes this output stream and forces any buffered output by test to be written out.

This will notify any readers that bytes are waiting in the pipe.

Parameters: NA

Returns: NA

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

Approach

Java

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PipedOutputStream;

public class PipedOutputStreamflush {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        PipedOutputStream pipedOutputStream =
                    new PipedOutputStream();

        pipedOutputStream.flush();

        System.out.println("Flushing the piped output stream");
        pipedOutputStream.close();

    }
}

Output:

Flushing the piped output stream
