  - ### closeQuietly

    @Deprecated public static void closeQuietly(Closeable closeable)
    Deprecated.
    Use `IOUtils.closeQuietly(Closeable)`.
    Closes the object quietly, catching rather than throwing IOException. Intended for use from finally blocks.
    Parameters:
      `closeable` - the object to close, may be `null`
    Since:
      3.0

  - ### closeQuietly

    @Deprecated public static void closeQuietly(Socket socket)
    Deprecated.
    Use `IOUtils.closeQuietly(Socket)`.
    Closes the socket quietly, catching rather than throwing IOException. Intended for use from finally blocks.
    Parameters:
      `socket` - the socket to close, may be `null`
    Since:
      3.0

  - ### copyReader

    public static long copyReader(Reader source, Writer dest) throws CopyStreamException
    Same as `copyReader(source, dest, DEFAULT_COPY_BUFFER_SIZE);`
    Parameters:
      `source` - where to copy from
      `dest` - where to copy to
    Returns:
      number of bytes copied
    Throws:
      `CopyStreamException` - on error

  - ### copyReader

    public static long copyReader(Reader source, Writer dest, int bufferSize) throws CopyStreamException
    Copies the contents of a Reader to a Writer using a copy buffer of a given size. The contents of the Reader are read until its end is reached, but neither the source nor the destination are closed. You must do this yourself outside the method call. The number of characters read/written is returned.
    Parameters:
      `source` - The source Reader.
      `dest` - The destination writer.
      `bufferSize` - The number of characters to buffer during the copy. A zero or negative value means to use `DEFAULT_COPY_BUFFER_SIZE`.
    Returns:
      The number of characters read/written in the copy operation.
    Throws:
      `CopyStreamException` - If an error occurs while reading from the source or writing to the destination. The CopyStreamException will contain the number of bytes confirmed to have been transferred before an IOException occurred, and it will also contain the IOException that caused the error. These values can be retrieved with the CopyStreamException getTotalBytesTransferred() and getIOException() methods.

  - ### copyReader

    public static long copyReader(Reader source, Writer dest, int bufferSize, long streamSize, CopyStreamListener listener) throws CopyStreamException
    Copies the contents of a Reader to a Writer using a copy buffer of a given size and notifies the provided CopyStreamListener of the progress of the copy operation by calling its bytesTransferred(long, int) method after each write to the destination. If you wish to notify more than one listener you should use a CopyStreamAdapter as the listener and register the additional listeners with the CopyStreamAdapter.

    The contents of the Reader are read until its end is reached, but neither the source nor the destination are closed. You must do this yourself outside the method call. The number of characters read/written is returned.

    Parameters:
      `source` - The source Reader.
      `dest` - The destination writer.
      `bufferSize` - The number of characters to buffer during the copy. A zero or negative value means to use `DEFAULT_COPY_BUFFER_SIZE`.
      `streamSize` - The number of characters in the stream being copied. Should be set to CopyStreamEvent.UNKNOWN_STREAM_SIZE if unknown. Not currently used (though it is passed to `CopyStreamListener.bytesTransferred(long, int, long)`
      `listener` - The CopyStreamListener to notify of progress. If this parameter is null, notification is not attempted.
    Returns:
      The number of characters read/written in the copy operation.
    Throws:
      `CopyStreamException` - If an error occurs while reading from the source or writing to the destination. The CopyStreamException will contain the number of bytes confirmed to have been transferred before an IOException occurred, and it will also contain the IOException that caused the error. These values can be retrieved with the CopyStreamException getTotalBytesTransferred() and getIOException() methods.

  - ### copyStream

      `dest` - where to copy to
    Returns:
      number of bytes copied
    Throws:
      `CopyStreamException` - on error

  - ### copyStream
