public class KeepAliveOutputStream
extends java.io.FilterOutputStream

Class that can be used to wrap `System.out` and `System.err` without getting anxious about any client closing the stream.

In code-language it means that it is not necessary to do:

     if (out != System.out && out!= System.err){
       out.close();
     }
