+ * An asynchronous channel that can read and write bytes.
+ *
+ * <p> Some channels may not allow more than one read or write to be outstanding
+ * at any given time. If a thread invokes a read method before a previous read
+ * operation has completed then a {@link ReadPendingException} will be thrown.
+ * Similarly, if a write method is invoked before a previous write has completed
+ * then {@link WritePendingException} is thrown. Whether or not other kinds of
+ * I/O operations may proceed concurrently with a read operation depends upon
+ * the type of the channel.
+ *
+ * <p> Note that {@link java.nio.ByteBuffer ByteBuffers} are not safe for use by
+ * multiple concurrent threads. When a read or write operation is initiated then
+ * care must be taken to ensure that the buffer is not accessed until the
+ * operation completes.
