/**
 * A channel is a conduit to I/O services covering such items as files, sockets,
 * hardware devices, I/O ports or some software component.
 * 

* Channels are open upon creation, and can be closed explicitly. Once a channel * is closed it cannot be re-opened, and any attempts to perform I/O operations * on the closed channel result in a ClosedChannelException. *

* Particular implementations or sub-interfaces of {@code Channel} dictate * whether they are thread-safe or not. */ public interface Channel extends Closeable { /** * Returns true if this channel is open. */ public boolean isOpen(); /** * Closes an open channel. If the channel is already closed then this method * has no effect. If there is a problem with closing the channel then the * method throws an IOException and the exception contains reasons for the * failure. *

* If an attempt is made to perform an operation on a closed channel then a * {@link ClosedChannelException} will be thrown on that attempt. *

* If multiple threads attempt to simultaneously close a channel, then only * one thread will run the closure code, and others will be blocked until * the first returns. * * @throws IOException * if a problem occurs closing the channel. */ public void close() throws IOException; }
