Process Diagram

Description

This is a process that simply copies its input stream to its output stream. The difference between a channel and a channel into which an Identity process has been spliced is that the latter has a buffering capacity of one more than the channel (which is zero, unless explicitly constructed with a buffer).

Channel Protocols

Input Channels
in	java.lang.Object	The in Channel can accept data of any class.
Output Channels
out	java.lang.Object	The out Channel sends the the same type of data (in fact, the same data) as is input.
