/**

 * A pair of channels that implements a unidirectional pipe.

 *

 * <p> A pipe consists of a pair of channels: A writable {@link

 * Pipe.SinkChannel </code>sink<code>} channel and a readable {@link

 * Pipe.SourceChannel </code>source<code>} channel.  Once some bytes are

 * written to the sink channel they can be read from source channel in exactly

 * the order in which they were written.

 *

 * <p> Whether or not a thread writing bytes to a pipe will block until another

 * thread reads those bytes, or some previously-written bytes, from the pipe is

 * system-dependent and therefore unspecified.  Many pipe implementations will

 * buffer up to a certain number of bytes between the sink and source channels,

 * but such buffering should not be assumed.  </p>
