What are use cases of Piped streams? Why just not read data into buffer and then write them out?
One advantage of using Piped streams is that they provide stream functionality in our code without compelling us to build new specialized streams.
For e.g. we can use pipes to create simple logging facility for our application.We can send messages to logging facility through ordinaty Printwritter and then it can do whatever processing or buffering is required before sending message off to final destination.
