34  * A channel to a network socket.
35  *
36  * <p> A channel that implements this interface is a channel to a network
37  * socket. The {@link #bind(SocketAddress) bind} method is used to bind the
38  * socket to a local {@link SocketAddress address}, the {@link #getLocalAddress()
39  * getLocalAddress} method returns the address that the socket is bound to, and
40  * the {@link #setOption(SocketOption,Object) setOption} and {@link
41  * #getOption(SocketOption) getOption} methods are used to set and query socket
42  * options.  An implementation of this interface should specify the socket options
43  * that it supports.
44  *
45  * <p> The {@link #bind bind} and {@link #setOption setOption} methods that do
46  * not otherwise have a value to return are specified to return the network
47  * channel upon which they are invoked. This allows method invocations to be
48  * chained. Implementations of this interface should specialize the return type
49  * so that method invocations on the implementation class can be chained.
