## Intent
|
|
Provide a template to suppress any exceptions that either are declared but cannot occur or should only be logged;
|
|
while executing some business logic. The template removes the need to write repeated `try-catch` blocks.
|
|

## Class diagram

## Applicability
|
|
Use this idiom when
|
|
|
|
* an API declares some exception but can never throw that exception eg. ByteArrayOutputStream bulk write method.
|
|
* you need to suppress some exception just by logging it, such as closing a resource.
