public class BlackHoleChannelInt extends Object implements ChannelOutputInt
ChannelOutputInt
with black hole semantics.
ChannelOutputInt
that yields
black hole semantics for a channel. Writers may always write but there can be
no readers. Any number of writers may share the same black hole.
Note: BlackHoleChannelInts are used for masking off unwanted outputs from processes. They are useful when we want to reuse an existing process component intact, but don't need some of its output channels (i.e. we don't want to redesign and reimplement the component to remove the redundant channels). Normal channels cannot be plugged in and left dangling as this may deadlock (parts of) the component being reused.
