32  /**
33   * A pair of channels that implements a unidirectional pipe.
34   *
35   * <p> A pipe consists of a pair of channels: A writable {@link
36   * Pipe.SinkChannel sink} channel and a readable {@link Pipe.SourceChannel source}
37   * channel.  Once some bytes are written to the sink channel they can be read
38   * from the source channel in exactly the order in which they were written.
39   *
40   * <p> Whether or not a thread writing bytes to a pipe will block until another
41   * thread reads those bytes, or some previously-written bytes, from the pipe is
42   * system-dependent and therefore unspecified.  Many pipe implementations will
43   * buffer up to a certain number of bytes between the sink and source channels,
44   * but such buffering should not be assumed.  </p>
