/**
|
|
* A nexus for I/O operations.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p> A channel represents an open connection to an entity such as a hardware
|
|
* device, a file, a network socket, or a program component that is capable of
|
|
* performing one or more distinct I/O operations, for example reading or
|
|
* writing.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p> A channel is either open or closed. A channel is open upon creation,
|
|
* and once closed it remains closed. Once a channel is closed, any attempt to
|
|
* invoke an I/O operation upon it will cause a {@link ClosedChannelException}
|
|
* to be thrown. Whether or not a channel is open may be tested by invoking
|
|
* its {@link #isOpen isOpen} method.
|
|
*
|
|
* <p> Channels are, in general, intended to be safe for multithreaded access
|
|
* as described in the specifications of the interfaces and classes that extend
|
|
* and implement this interface.
