/**
*
* This class provides static utility methods for buffered
* copying between sources (<code>InputStream</code>, <code>Reader</code>, <code>String</code> and
* <code>byte[]</code>) and destinations (<code>OutputStream</code>, <code>Writer</code>,
* <code>String</code> and <code>byte[]</code>).
*
*
* Unless otherwise noted, these <code>copy</code> methods do <em>not</em> flush or close the
* streams. Often doing so would require making non-portable assumptions about the streams' origin
* and further use. This means that both streams' <code>close()</code> methods must be called after
* copying. if one omits this step, then the stream resources (sockets, file descriptors) are
* released when the associated Stream is garbage-collected. It is not a good idea to rely on this
* mechanism. For a good overview of the distinction between "memory management" and "resource
* management", see <a href="http://www.unixreview.com/articles/1998/9804/9804ja/ja.htm">this
* UnixReview article</a>.
*
* For byte-to-char methods, a <code>copy</code> variant allows the encoding
* to be selected (otherwise the platform default is used). We would like to
* encourage you to always specify the encoding because relying on the platform
* default can lead to unexpected results.
*
* We don't provide special variants for the <code>copy</code> methods that
* let you specify the buffer size because in modern VMs the impact on speed
* seems to be minimal. We're using a default buffer size of 4 KB.
*
* The <code>copy</code> methods use an internal buffer when copying. It is therefore advisable
* <em>not</em> to deliberately wrap the stream arguments to the <code>copy</code> methods in
* <code>Buffered*</code> streams. For example, don't do the
* following:
*
* <code>copy( new BufferedInputStream( in ), new BufferedOutputStream( out ) );</code>
*
* The rationale is as follows:
*
* Imagine that an InputStream's read() is a very expensive operation, which would usually suggest
* wrapping in a BufferedInputStream. The BufferedInputStream works by issuing infrequent
* {@link java.io.InputStream#read(byte[] b, int off, int len)} requests on the underlying InputStream, to
* fill an internal buffer, from which further <code>read</code> requests can inexpensively get
* their data (until the buffer runs out).
* However, the <code>copy</code> methods do the same thing, keeping an internal buffer,
* populated by {@link InputStream#read(byte[] b, int off, int len)} requests. Having two buffers
* (or three if the destination stream is also buffered) is pointless, and the unnecessary buffer
* management hurts performance slightly (about 3%, according to some simple experiments).
*
* Behold, intrepid explorers; a map of this class:
* <pre>
* Method Input Output Dependency
* ------ ----- ------ -------
* 1 copy InputStream OutputStream (primitive)
* 2 copy Reader Writer (primitive)
*
* 3 copy InputStream Writer 2
*
* 4 copy Reader OutputStream 2
*
* 5 copy String OutputStream 2
* 6 copy String Writer (trivial)
*
* 7 copy byte[] Writer 3
* 8 copy byte[] OutputStream (trivial)
* </pre>
*
* Note that only the first two methods shuffle bytes; the rest use these
* two, or (if possible) copy using native Java copy methods. As there are
* method variants to specify the encoding, each row may
* correspond to up to 2 methods.
