public synchronized void connect (PipedInputStream snk) throws IOException

Connects this piped output stream to a receiver. If this object is already connected to some other piped input stream, an IOException is thrown.

If snk is an unconnected piped input stream and src is an unconnected piped output stream, they may be connected by either the call:

 src.connect(snk)

or the call:

 snk.connect(src)

The two calls have the same effect.

Parameters:

snk

the piped input stream to connect to.

Exceptions:

IOException

if an I/O error occurs.
