- - java.util.stream.StreamSupport

-     public final class StreamSupport
      extends Object

  Low-level utility methods for creating and manipulating streams.

    - #### 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`

    - #### 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`
      See Also:
        `stream(java.util.Spliterator, boolean)`

    - #### intStream

          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

                                            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.
