jdk.nio.channels.SelectableChannel
A channel that can be multiplexed via a Selector.
In order to be used with a selector, an instance of this class must first be registered via the register method. This method returns a new SelectionKey object that represents the channel's registration with the selector.
Once registered with a selector, a channel remains registered until it is deregistered. This involves deallocating whatever resources were allocated to the channel by the selector.
A channel cannot be deregistered directly; instead, the key representing its registration must be cancelled. 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 cancel method. All of a channel's keys are cancelled implicitly when the channel is closed, whether by invoking its close method or by interrupting a thread blocked in an I/O operation upon the channel.
If the selector itself is closed then the channel will be deregistered, and the key representing its registration will be invalidated, without further delay.
A channel may be registered at most once with any particular selector.
Whether or not a channel is registered with one or more selectors may be determined by invoking the isRegistered method.
Selectable channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.
Blocking mode
A selectable channel is either in blocking mode or in non-blocking 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 isBlocking method.
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.

blocking-lockclj
(blocking-lock this)Retrieves the object upon which the configureBlocking and register methods synchronize. This is often useful in the implementation of adaptors that require a specific blocking mode to be maintained for a short period of time.
returns: The blocking-mode lock object - java.lang.Object
Retrieves the object upon which the configureBlocking and register methods synchronize. This is often useful in the implementation of adaptors that require a specific blocking mode to be maintained for a short period of time. returns: The blocking-mode lock object - `java.lang.Object`
blocking?clj
(blocking? this)Tells whether or not every I/O operation on this channel will block until it completes. A newly-created channel is always in blocking mode.
If this channel is closed then the value returned by this method is not specified.
returns: true if, and only if, this channel is in blocking mode - boolean
Tells whether or not every I/O operation on this channel will block until it completes. A newly-created channel is always in blocking mode. If this channel is closed then the value returned by this method is not specified. returns: true if, and only if, this channel is in blocking mode - `boolean`
configure-blockingclj
(configure-blocking this block)Adjusts this channel's blocking mode.
If this channel is registered with one or more selectors then an attempt to place it into blocking mode will cause an IllegalBlockingModeException to be thrown.
This method may be invoked at any time. The new blocking mode will only affect I/O operations that are initiated after this method returns. For some implementations this may require blocking until all pending I/O operations are complete.
If this method is invoked while another invocation of this method or of the register method is in progress then it will first block until the other operation is complete.
block - If true then this channel will be placed in blocking mode; if false then it will be placed non-blocking mode - boolean
returns: This selectable channel - java.nio.channels.SelectableChannel
throws: java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
Adjusts this channel's blocking mode. If this channel is registered with one or more selectors then an attempt to place it into blocking mode will cause an IllegalBlockingModeException to be thrown.

For some implementations this may require blocking until all pending I/O operations are complete. If this method is invoked while another invocation of this method or of the register method is in progress then it will first block until the other operation is complete. block - If true then this channel will be placed in blocking mode; if false then it will be placed non-blocking mode - `boolean` returns: This selectable channel - `java.nio.channels.SelectableChannel` throws: java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
key-forclj
(key-for this sel)Retrieves the key representing the channel's registration with the given selector.
sel - The selector - java.nio.channels.Selector
returns: The key returned when this channel was last registered with the
given selector, or null if this channel is not
currently registered with that selector - java.nio.channels.SelectionKey
Retrieves the key representing the channel's registration with the given
selector.
sel - The selector - `java.nio.channels.Selector`
returns: The key returned when this channel was last registered with the
given selector, or null if this channel is not
currently registered with that selector - `java.nio.channels.SelectionKey`providerclj
(provider this)Returns the provider that created this channel.
returns: The provider that created this channel - java.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider
Returns the provider that created this channel. returns: The provider that created this channel - `java.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider`
registerclj
(register this sel ops)(register this sel ops att)Registers this channel with the given selector, returning a selection key.
If this channel is currently registered with the given selector then the selection key representing that registration is returned. The key's interest set will have been changed to ops, as if by invoking the interestOps(int) method. If the att argument is not null then the key's attachment will have been set to that value. A CancelledKeyException will be thrown if the key has already been cancelled.
Otherwise this channel has not yet been registered with the given selector, so it is registered and the resulting new key is returned. The key's initial interest set will be ops and its attachment will be att.
This method may be invoked at any time. If this method is invoked while another invocation of this method or of the configureBlocking method is in progress then it will first block until the other operation is complete. This method will then synchronize on the selector's key set and therefore may block if invoked concurrently with another registration or selection operation involving the same selector.
If this channel is closed while this operation is in progress then the key returned by this method will have been cancelled and will therefore be invalid.
sel - The selector with which this channel is to be registered - java.nio.channels.Selector
ops - The interest set for the resulting key - int
att - The attachment for the resulting key; may be null - java.lang.Object
returns: A key representing the registration of this channel with
the given selector - java.nio.channels.SelectionKey
throws: java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
Registers this channel with the given selector, returning a selection
key.
If this channel is currently registered with the given selector then
the selection key representing that registration is returned. The key's
interest set will have been changed to ops, as if by invoking
the interestOps(int) method. If
the att argument is not null then the key's attachment
will have been set to that value. A CancelledKeyException will
be thrown if the key has already been cancelled.
Otherwise this channel has not yet been registered with the given
selector, so it is registered and the resulting new key is returned.
The key's initial interest set will be ops and its attachment
will be att.
This method may be invoked at any time. If this method is invoked
while another invocation of this method or of the configureBlocking method is in progress
then it will first block until the other operation is complete. This
method will then synchronize on the selector's key set and therefore may
block if invoked concurrently with another registration or selection
operation involving the same selector.
If this channel is closed while this operation is in progress then
the key returned by this method will have been cancelled and will
therefore be invalid.
sel - The selector with which this channel is to be registered - `java.nio.channels.Selector`
ops - The interest set for the resulting key - `int`
att - The attachment for the resulting key; may be null - `java.lang.Object`
returns: A key representing the registration of this channel with
the given selector - `java.nio.channels.SelectionKey`
throws: java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closedregistered?clj
(registered? this)Tells whether or not this channel is currently registered with any selectors. A newly-created channel is not registered.
Due to the inherent delay between key cancellation and channel deregistration, a channel may remain registered for some time after all of its keys have been cancelled. A channel may also remain registered for some time after it is closed.
returns: true if, and only if, this channel is registered - boolean
