A channel that can be multiplexed via a Selector
.
In order to be used with a selector, an instance of this class must
first be registered via the register
method. This method returns a new SelectionKey
object
that represents the channel's registration with the selector.
Once registered with a selector, a channel remains registered until it is deregistered. This involves deallocating whatever resources were allocated to the channel by the selector.
A channel cannot be deregistered directly; instead, the key representing
its registration must be cancelled. Cancelling a key requests that
the channel be deregistered during the selector's next selection operation.
A key may be cancelled explicitly by invoking its cancel
method. All of a channel's keys are cancelled
implicitly when the channel is closed, whether by invoking its close
method or by interrupting a thread blocked in an I/O
operation upon the channel.
If the selector itself is closed then the channel will be deregistered, and the key representing its registration will be invalidated, without further delay.
A channel may be registered at most once with any particular selector.
Whether or not a channel is registered with one or more selectors may be
determined by invoking the isRegistered
method.
Selectable channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.
isBlocking
method.
Newly-created selectable channels are always in blocking mode. Non-blocking mode is most useful in conjunction with selector-based multiplexing. A channel must be placed into non-blocking mode before being registered with a selector, and may not be returned to blocking mode until it has been deregistered.

Initializes a new instance of this class.
Retrieves the object upon which the configureBlocking
and register
methods synchronize.
This is often useful in the implementation of adaptors that require a
specific blocking mode to be maintained for a short period of time.
Adjusts this channel's blocking mode.
If this channel is registered with one or more selectors then an attempt to place it into blocking mode will cause an IllegalBlockingModeException to be thrown.
This method may be invoked at any time. The new blocking mode will only affect I/O operations that are initiated after this method returns. For some implementations this may require blocking until all pending I/O operations are complete.
If this method is invoked while another invocation of this method or
of the register
method is in progress
then it will first block until the other operation is complete.
block | If true then this channel will be placed in blocking mode; if false then it will be placed non-blocking mode |
---|
If this channel is closed | |
If block is true and this channel is registered with one or more selectors | |
IOException | If an I/O error occurs |
Tells whether or not every I/O operation on this channel will block until it completes. A newly-created channel is always in blocking mode.
If this channel is closed then the value returned by this method is not specified.
Tells whether or not this channel is currently registered with any selectors. A newly-created channel is not registered.
Due to the inherent delay between key cancellation and channel deregistration, a channel may remain registered for some time after all of its keys have been cancelled. A channel may also remain registered for some time after it is closed.
Retrieves the key representing the channel's registration with the given selector.
Returns the provider that created this channel.
Registers this channel with the given selector, returning a selection key.
An invocation of this convenience method of the form
sc.register(sel, ops)behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

ops | The interest set for the resulting key |
If this channel is closed | |
If this channel is in blocking mode | |
If this channel was not created by the same provider as the given selector | |
If this channel is currently registered with the given selector but the corresponding key has already been cancelled | |
IllegalArgumentException | If a bit in ops does not correspond to an operation that is supported by this channel, that is, if set & ~validOps() != 0 |
ClosedChannelException |
Registers this channel with the given selector, returning a selection key.
If this channel is currently registered with the given selector then
the selection key representing that registration is returned. The key's
interest set will have been changed to ops, as if by invoking
the interestOps(int)
method. If
the att argument is not null then the key's attachment
will have been set to that value. A CancelledKeyException will
be thrown if the key has already been cancelled.
Otherwise this channel has not yet been registered with the given selector, so it is registered and the resulting new key is returned. The key's initial interest set will be ops and its attachment will be att.
This method may be invoked at any time. If this method is invoked
while another invocation of this method or of the configureBlocking
method is in progress
then it will first block until the other operation is complete. This
method will then synchronize on the selector's key set and therefore may
block if invoked concurrently with another registration or selection
operation involving the same selector.
If this channel is closed while this operation is in progress then the key returned by this method will have been cancelled and will therefore be invalid.

Returns an operation set identifying this channel's supported operations. The bits that are set in this integer value denote exactly the operations that are valid for this channel. This method always returns the same value for a given concrete channel class.
