Name
Channels
Synopsis
This
class defines static methods that
provide a bridge between the byte stream and character stream classes
of the java.io
package and the channel classes of
java.nio.channels
. Channels
is
never intended to be instantiated: it serves solely as a placeholder
for static methods. These methods create byte channels based on
java.io
byte streams, and create
java.io
byte streams based on byte channels. Note
that the channel objects returned by the newChannel(
)
methods may not implement
InterruptibleChannel
, and so may not be
asynchonously closeable and interruptible like other channel classes
in this package. Channels
also defines methods to
create character streams (java.io.Reader
and
java.io.Writer
) based on the combination of a byte
channel and a character encoding. The encoding may be specified by
charset name, or with a CharsetDecoder
or
CharsetEncoder
(see
java.nio.charset
).
