IStreamMonitor (Eclipse Platform API Specification)

All Known Subinterfaces:

IBinaryStreamMonitor, IFlushableStreamMonitor
```
public interface IStreamMonitor
```
A stream monitor manages the contents of the stream a process is writing to, and notifies registered listeners of changes in the stream.
Clients may implement this interface. Generally, a client that provides an implementation of the IStreamsProxy interface must also provide an implementation of this interface.
