## Class NoOutputs

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.util.fst.Outputs<Object>
  - - org.apache.lucene.util.fst.NoOutputs

-     public final class NoOutputs
      extends Outputs<Object>

  A null FST `Outputs` implementation; use this if you just want to build an FSA.
  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

- - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `Object` | `add(Object prefix, Object output)` Eg add("foo", "bar") -> "foobar"
    `Object` | `common(Object output1, Object output2)` Eg common("foobar", "food") -> "foo"
    `Object` | `getNoOutput()` NOTE: this output is compared with == so you must ensure that all methods return the single object if it's really no output
    `static NoOutputs` | `getSingleton()`
    `Object` | `merge(Object first, Object second)`
    `String` | `outputToString(Object output)`
    `long` | `ramBytesUsed(Object output)` Return memory usage for the provided output.
    `Object` | `read(DataInput in)` Decode an output value previously written with `Outputs.write(Object, DataOutput)`.
    `Object` | `subtract(Object output, Object inc)` Eg subtract("foobar", "foo") -> "bar"
    `String` | `toString()`
    `void` | `write(Object prefix, DataOutput out)` Encode an output value into a `DataOutput`.
