/**
* Provides a simple way for an console-based, Java application
* main thread to wait until the virtual machine terminates. If
* an application main method is solely responsible for setting
* up and tearing down the application and hands off control to
* another thread between the two, then the main thread must
* block until it is time to stop. This class is a Java
* {@link java.lang.Runtime#addShutdownHook(java.lang.Thread) shutdown hook},
* returning a {@link java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch} on
* which the main thread waits. This latch is decremented when
* the Java {@code Runtime} executes the shutdown hook. Since the
* latch is size one, {@link CountDownLatch#await()} will return.
*
* This returned latch may be passed to other objects which can
* decrement the latch and so signal that the application is to
* terminate.
*
*
* An example Java main method uses this class as follows:
*
*
*
* import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;
*
* public static void main(final String args[])
* {
* // 1. Check the command line arguments.
* // 2. Initialize the application.
* // 3. Set up the shutdown hook.
* final CountDownLatch signal = ShutdownHook.addShutdownHook();
*
* // 4. Start application thread.
* // 5. Wait for the JVM to stop.
* try {
* signal.await();
* } catch (InterruptedException interrupt) {}
*
* // 6. Tear down the application.
* }
*
