33 * A token representing the registration of a {@link SelectableChannel} with a
34 * {@link Selector}.
35 *
36 * <p> A selection key is created each time a channel is registered with a
37 * selector. A key remains valid until it is <i>cancelled</i> by invoking its
38 * {@link #cancel cancel} method, by closing its channel, or by closing its
39 * selector. Cancelling a key does not immediately remove it from its
40 * selector; it is instead added to the selector's <a
41 * href="Selector.html#ks"><i>cancelled-key set</i></a> for removal during the
42 * next selection operation. The validity of a key may be tested by invoking
43 * its {@link #isValid isValid} method.
44 *
45 * <a name="opsets">
46 *
47 * <p> A selection key contains two <i>operation sets</i> represented as
48 * integer values. Each bit of an operation set denotes a category of
49 * selectable operations that are supported by the key's channel.
50 *
51 * <ul>
52 *
53 * <li><p> The <i>interest set</i> determines which operation categories will
54 * be tested for readiness the next time one of the selector's selection
55 * methods is invoked. The interest set is initialized with the value given
56 * when the key is created; it may later be changed via the {@link
57 * #interestOps(int)} method. </p></li>
58 *
59 * <li><p> The <i>ready set</i> identifies the operation categories for which
60 * the key's channel has been detected to be ready by the key's selector.
61 * The ready set is initialized to zero when the key is created; it may later
62 * be updated by the selector during a selection operation, but it cannot be
63 * updated directly. </p></li>
64 *
65 * </ul>
66 *
67 * <p> That a selection key's ready set indicates that its channel is ready for
68 * some operation category is a hint, but not a guarantee, that an operation in
69 * such a category may be performed by a thread without causing the thread to
70 * block. A ready set is most likely to be accurate immediately after the
71 * completion of a selection operation. It is likely to be made inaccurate by
72 * external events and by I/O operations that are invoked upon the
73 * corresponding channel.
74 *
75 * <p> This class defines all known operation-set bits, but precisely which
76 * bits are supported by a given channel depends upon the type of the channel.
77 * Each subclass of {@link SelectableChannel} defines an {@link
78 * SelectableChannel#validOps() validOps()} method which returns a set
79 * identifying just those operations that are supported by the channel. An
80 * attempt to set or test an operation-set bit that is not supported by a key's
81 * channel will result in an appropriate run-time exception.
82 *
83 * <p> It is often necessary to associate some application-specific data with a
84 * selection key, for example an object that represents the state of a
85 * higher-level protocol and handles readiness notifications in order to
86 * implement that protocol. Selection keys therefore support the
87 * <i>attachment</i> of a single arbitrary object to a key. An object can be
88 * attached via the {@link #attach attach} method and then later retrieved via
89 * the {@link #attachment() attachment} method.
90 *
91 * <p> Selection keys are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. The
92 * operations of reading and writing the interest set will, in general, be
93 * synchronized with certain operations of the selector. Exactly how this
94 * synchronization is performed is implementation-dependent: In a naive
95 * implementation, reading or writing the interest set may block indefinitely
96 * if a selection operation is already in progress; in a high-performance
97 * implementation, reading or writing the interest set may block briefly, if at
98 * all. In any case, a selection operation will always use the interest-set
99 * value that was current at the moment that the operation began. </p>
