Attributes

Remarks

Returns a new Writer which discards all characters. The returned stream is initially open. The stream is closed by calling the close() method. Subsequent calls to close() have no effect.

While the stream is open, the append(char), append(CharSequence), append(CharSequence, int, int), flush(), write(int), write(char[]), and write(char[], int, int) methods do nothing. After the stream has been closed, these methods all throw IOException.

The #lock object used to synchronize operations on the returned Writer is not specified.
