Attributes

Remarks

Returns a new OutputStream which discards all bytes. The returned stream is initially open. The stream is closed by calling the close() method. Subsequent calls to close() have no effect.

While the stream is open, the write(int), write(byte[]), and write(byte[], int, int) methods do nothing. After the stream has been closed, these methods all throw IOException.

The flush() method does nothing.
