class:StreamSupport [NONE]

```
public final class StreamSupport
extends Object
```
Low-level utility methods for creating and manipulating streams.
This class is mostly for library writers presenting stream views of data structures; most static stream methods intended for end users are in the various Stream classes.

method:stream(java.util.Spliterator,boolean) [NONE]

stream
```
public static <T> Stream<T> stream(Spliterator<T> spliterator,
                                   boolean parallel)
```
Creates a new sequential or parallel Stream from a Spliterator.
The spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

It is strongly recommended the spliterator report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or be late-binding. Otherwise, stream(java.util.function.Supplier, int, boolean) should be used to reduce the scope of potential interference with the source. See Non-Interference for more details.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of stream elements

Parameters:

spliterator - a Spliterator describing the stream elements

parallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential stream.

Returns:

a new sequential or parallel Stream

method:stream(java.util.function.Supplier,int,boolean) [NONE]

stream
```
public static <T> Stream<T> stream(Supplier<? extends Spliterator<T>> supplier,
                                   int characteristics,
                                   boolean parallel)
```
Creates a new sequential or parallel Stream from a Supplier of Spliterator.
The Supplier.get() method will be invoked on the supplier no more than once, and only after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

For spliterators that report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or that are late-binding, it is likely more efficient to use stream(java.util.Spliterator, boolean) instead.

The use of a Supplier in this form provides a level of indirection that reduces the scope of potential interference with the source. Since the supplier is only invoked after the terminal operation commences, any modifications to the source up to the start of the terminal operation are reflected in the stream result. See Non-Interference for more details.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of stream elements

Parameters:

supplier - a Supplier of a Spliterator

characteristics - Spliterator characteristics of the supplied Spliterator. The characteristics must be equal to supplier.get().characteristics(), otherwise undefined behavior may occur when terminal operation commences.

parallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential stream.

Returns:

a new sequential or parallel Stream

```
public static IntStream intStream(Spliterator.OfInt spliterator,
                                  boolean parallel)
```
Creates a new sequential or parallel IntStream from a Spliterator.OfInt.
The spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

It is strongly recommended the spliterator report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or be late-binding. Otherwise, intStream(java.util.function.Supplier, int, boolean) should be used to reduce the scope of potential interference with the source. See Non-Interference for more details.

Parameters:

spliterator - a Spliterator.OfInt describing the stream elements

parallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential stream.

Returns:

a new sequential or parallel IntStream

intStream
```
public static IntStream intStream(Supplier<? extends Spliterator.OfInt> supplier,

                                  boolean parallel)
```
Creates a new sequential or parallel IntStream from a Supplier of Spliterator.OfInt.
The Supplier.get() method will be invoked on the supplier no more than once, and only after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

For spliterators that report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or that are late-binding, it is likely more efficient to use intStream(java.util.Spliterator.OfInt, boolean) instead.

Parameters:

supplier - a Supplier of a Spliterator.OfInt

characteristics - Spliterator characteristics of the supplied Spliterator.OfInt. The characteristics must be equal to supplier.get().characteristics(), otherwise undefined behavior may occur when terminal operation commences.

parallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential stream.

Returns:

a new sequential or parallel IntStream

```
public static LongStream longStream(Spliterator.OfLong spliterator,
                                    boolean parallel)
```
Creates a new sequential or parallel LongStream from a Spliterator.OfLong.
The spliterator is only traversed, split, or queried for estimated size after the terminal operation of the stream pipeline commences.

It is strongly recommended the spliterator report a characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or be late-binding. Otherwise, longStream(java.util.function.Supplier, int, boolean) should be used to reduce the scope of potential interference with the source. See Non-Interference for more details.

Parameters:

spliterator - a Spliterator.OfLong describing the stream elements

parallel - if true then the returned stream is a parallel stream; if false the returned stream is a sequential stream.
