+/**
+ * A channel that can be asynchronously closed and interrupted.
+ *
+ * <p> A channel that implements this interface is <i>asynchronously
+ * closeable:</i> If a thread is blocked in an I/O operation on an
+ * interruptible channel then another thread may invoke the channel's {@link
+ * #close close} method.  This will cause the blocked thread to receive an
+ * {@link AsynchronousCloseException}.
+ *
+ * <p> A channel that implements this interface is also <i>interruptible:</i>
+ * If a thread is blocked in an I/O operation on an interruptible channel then
+ * another thread may invoke the blocked thread's {@link Thread#interrupt()
+ * interrupt} method.  This will cause the channel to be closed, the blocked
+ * thread to receive a {@link ClosedByInterruptException}, and the blocked
+ * thread's interrupt status to be set.
+ *
+ * <p> If a thread's interrupt status is already set and it invokes a blocking
+ * I/O operation upon a channel then the channel will be closed and the thread
+ * will immediately receive a {@link ClosedByInterruptException}; its interrupt
+ * status will remain set.
+ *
+ * <p> A channel supports asynchronous closing and interruption if, and only
+ * if, it implements this interface.  This can be tested at runtime, if
+ * necessary, via the {@code instanceof} operator.
