34 * A channel that can be multiplexed via a {@link Selector}.
35 *
36 * <p> In order to be used with a selector, an instance of this class must
37 * first be <i>registered</i> via the {@link #register(Selector,int,Object)
38 * register} method. This method returns a new {@link SelectionKey} object
39 * that represents the channel's registration with the selector.
40 *
41 * <p> Once registered with a selector, a channel remains registered until it
42 * is <i>deregistered</i>. This involves deallocating whatever resources were
43 * allocated to the channel by the selector.
44 *
45 * <p> A channel cannot be deregistered directly; instead, the key representing
46 * its registration must be <i>cancelled</i>. Cancelling a key requests that
47 * the channel be deregistered during the selector's next selection operation.
48 * A key may be cancelled explicitly by invoking its {@link
49 * SelectionKey#cancel() cancel} method. All of a channel's keys are cancelled
50 * implicitly when the channel is closed, whether by invoking its {@link
51 * Channel#close close} method or by interrupting a thread blocked in an I/O
52 * operation upon the channel.
53 *
54 * <p> If the selector itself is closed then the channel will be deregistered,
55 * and the key representing its registration will be invalidated, without
56 * further delay.
57 *
58 * <p> A channel may be registered at most once with any particular selector.
59 *
60 * <p> Whether or not a channel is registered with one or more selectors may be
61 * determined by invoking the {@link #isRegistered isRegistered} method.
62 *
63 * <p> Selectable channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent
64 * threads. </p>
65 *
66 *
67 * <a name="bm">
68 * <h4>Blocking mode</h4>
69 *
70 * A selectable channel is either in <i>blocking</i> mode or in
71 * <i>non-blocking</i> mode. In blocking mode, every I/O operation invoked
72 * upon the channel will block until it completes. In non-blocking mode an I/O
73 * operation will never block and may transfer fewer bytes than were requested
74 * or possibly no bytes at all. The blocking mode of a selectable channel may
75 * be determined by invoking its {@link #isBlocking isBlocking} method.
76 *
77 * <p> Newly-created selectable channels are always in blocking mode.
78 * Non-blocking mode is most useful in conjunction with selector-based
79 * multiplexing. A channel must be placed into non-blocking mode before being
80 * registered with a selector, and may not be returned to blocking mode until
81 * it has been deregistered.
