    32  * A byte channel that maintains a current <i>position</i> and allows the
       
    33  * position to be changed.
       
    34  *
       
    35  * <p> A seekable byte channel is connected to an entity, typically a file,
       
    36  * that contains a variable-length sequence of bytes that can be read and
       
    37  * written. The current position can be {@link #position() <i>queried</i>} and
       
    38  * {@link #position(long) <i>modified</i>}. The channel also provides access to
       
    39  * the current <i>size</i> of the entity to which the channel is connected. The
       
    40  * size increases when bytes are written beyond its current size; the size
       
    41  * decreases when it is {@link #truncate <i>truncated</i>}.
       
    42  *
       
    43  * <p> The {@link #position(long) position} and {@link #truncate truncate} methods
       
    44  * which do not otherwise have a value to return are specified to return the
       
    45  * channel upon which they are invoked. This allows method invocations to be
       
    46  * chained. Implementations of this interface should specialize the return type
       
    47  * so that method invocations on the implementation class can be chained.
