public class PipedInputStream extends InputStream
PipedInputStream object by
 one thread and data is written to the corresponding PipedOutputStream by some other thread. Attempting
 to use both objects from a single thread is not recommended, as it may deadlock the thread. The piped input stream
 contains a buffer, decoupling read operations from write operations, within limits. A pipe is said to be
  broken  if a thread that was providing data bytes to the connected piped output stream
 is no longer alive.PipedOutputStream| Modifier and Type | Field and Description | 
|---|---|
| protected byte[] | bufferThe circular buffer into which incoming data is placed. | 
| protected int | inThe index of the position in the circular buffer at which the next byte of data will be stored when received from
 the connected piped output stream. | 
| protected int | outThe index of the position in the circular buffer at which the next byte of data will be read by this piped input
 stream. | 
| protected static int | PIPE_SIZEThe default size of the pipe's circular input buffer. |

 already connected to some other piped output stream, an IOException is thrown.
 
 If src is an unconnected piped output stream and snk is an unconnected piped input
 stream, they may be connected by either the call:
 
 snk.connect(src)
 
 or the call:
 src.connect(snk)
 
 The two calls have the same effect.
