   static List<IOException> close(Closeable ... s) {
       if (s != null) {
           List <IOException> exceptions = new ArrayList();
           for(Closeable s1 : s){
           try { s.close(); }
           catch (IOException e) { exceptions.add(e); }
           }
           return exceptions;
       }
       return Collections.emptyList();
   }
