32 /**
33  * A token representing the registration of a {@link SelectableChannel} with a
34  * {@link Selector}.
35  *
36  * <p> A selection key is created each time a channel is registered with a
37  * selector.  A key remains valid until it is <i>cancelled</i> by invoking its
38  * {@link #cancel cancel} method, by closing its channel, or by closing its
39  * selector.  Cancelling a key does not immediately remove it from its
40  * selector; it is instead added to the selector's <a
41  * href="Selector.html#ks"><i>cancelled-key set</i></a> for removal during the
42  * next selection operation.  The validity of a key may be tested by invoking
43  * its {@link #isValid isValid} method.
44  *
45  * <a name="opsets"></a>
46  *
47  * <p> A selection key contains two <i>operation sets</i> represented as
48  * integer values.  Each bit of an operation set denotes a category of
49  * selectable operations that are supported by the key's channel.
50  *
51  * <ul>
52  *
53  *   <li><p> The <i>interest set</i> determines which operation categories will
54  *   be tested for readiness the next time one of the selector's selection
55  *   methods is invoked.  The interest set is initialized with the value given
56  *   when the key is created; it may later be changed via the {@link
57  *   #interestOps(int)} method. </p></li>
58  *
59  *   <li><p> The <i>ready set</i> identifies the operation categories for which
60  *   the key's channel has been detected to be ready by the key's selector.
61  *   The ready set is initialized to zero when the key is created; it may later
62  *   be updated by the selector during a selection operation, but it cannot be
63  *   updated directly. </p></li>
64  *
65  * </ul>
66  *
67  * <p> That a selection key's ready set indicates that its channel is ready for
68  * some operation category is a hint, but not a guarantee, that an operation in
69  * such a category may be performed by a thread without causing the thread to
70  * block.  A ready set is most likely to be accurate immediately after the
71  * completion of a selection operation.  It is likely to be made inaccurate by
72  * external events and by I/O operations that are invoked upon the
73  * corresponding channel.
74  *
75  * <p> This class defines all known operation-set bits, but precisely which
76  * bits are supported by a given channel depends upon the type of the channel.
77  * Each subclass of {@link SelectableChannel} defines an {@link
78  * SelectableChannel#validOps() validOps()} method which returns a set
79  * identifying just those operations that are supported by the channel.  An
80  * attempt to set or test an operation-set bit that is not supported by a key's
81  * channel will result in an appropriate run-time exception.
82  *
83  * <p> It is often necessary to associate some application-specific data with a
84  * selection key, for example an object that represents the state of a
85  * higher-level protocol and handles readiness notifications in order to
86  * implement that protocol.  Selection keys therefore support the
87  * <i>attachment</i> of a single arbitrary object to a key.  An object can be
88  * attached via the {@link #attach attach} method and then later retrieved via
89  * the {@link #attachment() attachment} method.
90  *
91  * <p> Selection keys are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.  The
92  * operations of reading and writing the interest set will, in general, be
93  * synchronized with certain operations of the selector.  Exactly how this
94  * synchronization is performed is implementation-dependent: In a naive
95  * implementation, reading or writing the interest set may block indefinitely
96  * if a selection operation is already in progress; in a high-performance
97  * implementation, reading or writing the interest set may block briefly, if at
98  * all.  In any case, a selection operation will always use the interest-set
99  * value that was current at the moment that the operation began.  </p>
