+## Intent
+Provide a template to supress 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.

+
+![alt text](./etc/mute-idiom.png "Mute Idiom")
+
+## 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.
