protected AbstractSelectableChannel(SelectorProvider provider)

Initializes a new instance of this class.

public final SelectorProvider provider()

Returns the provider that created this channel.

public final boolean isRegistered()

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.

public final SelectionKey keyFor(Selector sel)

Retrieves the key representing the channel's registration with the given selector.

public final SelectionKey register(Selector sel, int ops, Object att) throws ClosedChannelException

Registers this channel with the given selector, returning a selection key.

This method first verifies that this channel is open and that the given initial interest set is valid.

If this channel is already registered with the given selector then the selection key representing that registration is returned after setting its interest set to the given value.

Otherwise this channel has not yet been registered with the given selector, so the register method of the selector is invoked while holding the appropriate locks. The resulting key is added to this channel's key set before being returned.

protected final void implCloseChannel() throws IOException

Closes this channel.

This method, which is specified in the AbstractInterruptibleChannel class and is invoked by the close method, in turn invokes the implCloseSelectableChannel method in order to perform the actual work of closing this channel. It then cancels all of this channel's keys.

protected abstract void implCloseSelectableChannel() throws IOException

Closes this selectable channel.

This method is invoked by the close method in order to perform the actual work of closing the channel. This method is only invoked if the channel has not yet been closed, and it is never invoked more than once.

An implementation of this method must arrange for any other thread that is blocked in an I/O operation upon this channel to return immediately, either by throwing an exception or by returning normally.

public final boolean isBlocking()

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.

public final Object blockingLock()

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.

public final SelectableChannel configureBlocking(boolean block) throws IOException

Adjusts this channel's blocking mode.

If the given blocking mode is different from the current blocking mode then this method invokes the implConfigureBlocking method, while holding the appropriate locks, in order to change the mode.

protected abstract void implConfigureBlocking(boolean block) throws IOException

Adjusts this channel's blocking mode.

This method is invoked by the configureBlocking method in order to perform the actual work of changing the blocking mode. This method is only invoked if the new mode is different from the current mode.
