/**

 * A channel that can be multiplexed via a {@link Selector}.

 *

 * <p> In order to be used with a selector, an instance of this class must

 * first be <i>registered</i> via the {@link #register(Selector,int,Object)

 * register} method.  This method returns a new {@link SelectionKey} object

 * that represents the channel's registration with the selector.

 *

 * <p> Once registered with a selector, a channel remains registered until it

 * is <i>deregistered</i>.  This involves deallocating whatever resources were

 * allocated to the channel by the selector.

 *

 * <p> A channel cannot be deregistered directly; instead, the key representing

 * its registration must be <i>cancelled</i>.  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 {@link

 * SelectionKey#cancel() cancel} method.  All of a channel's keys are cancelled

 * implicitly when the channel is closed, whether by invoking its {@link

 * Channel#close close} method or by interrupting a thread blocked in an I/O

 * operation upon the channel.

 *

 * <p> If the selector itself is closed then the channel will be deregistered,

 * and the key representing its registration will be invalidated, without

 * further delay.

 *

 * <p> A channel may be registered at most once with any particular selector.

 *

 * <p> Whether or not a channel is registered with one or more selectors may be

 * determined by invoking the {@link #isRegistered isRegistered} method.

 *

 * <p> Selectable channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent

 * threads. </p>

 *

 *

 * <a id="bm"></a>

 * <h2>Blocking mode</h2>

 *

 * A selectable channel is either in <i>blocking</i> mode or in

 * <i>non-blocking</i> mode.  In blocking mode, every I/O operation invoked

 * upon the channel will block until it completes.  In non-blocking mode an I/O

 * operation will never block and may transfer fewer bytes than were requested

 * or possibly no bytes at all.  The blocking mode of a selectable channel may

 * be determined by invoking its {@link #isBlocking isBlocking} method.

 *

 * <p> 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.
