33 /**
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"></a>
68  * <h2>Blocking mode</h2>
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.
