public interface Channel extends AttributeMap, ChannelOutboundInvoker, java.lang.Comparable<Channel>
A channel provides a user:
ChannelPipeline
which handles all I/O events and requests
associated with the channel.
All I/O operations in Netty are asynchronous. It means any I/O calls will
return immediately with no guarantee that the requested I/O operation has
been completed at the end of the call. Instead, you will be returned with
a ChannelFuture
instance which will notify you when the requested I/O
operation has succeeded, failed, or canceled.
A Channel
can have a parent depending on
how it was created. For instance, a SocketChannel
, that was accepted
by ServerSocketChannel
, will return the ServerSocketChannel
as its parent on parent()
.
The semantics of the hierarchical structure depends on the transport
implementation where the Channel
belongs to. For example, you could
write a new Channel
implementation that creates the sub-channels that
share one socket connection, as BEEP and
SSH do.
Some transports exposes additional operations that is specific to the
transport. Down-cast the Channel
to sub-type to invoke such
operations. For example, with the old I/O datagram transport, multicast
join / leave operations are provided by DatagramChannel
.
It is important to call ChannelOutboundInvoker.close()
or ChannelOutboundInvoker.close(ChannelPromise)
to release all
resources once you are done with the Channel
. This ensures all resources are
released in a proper way, i.e. filehandles.

Returns
true if the Channel is open and may get active later |
boolean |

|
boolean |
isWritable()
Returns
true if and only if the I/O thread will perform the
requested write operation immediately. |

ChannelPipeline . |

read()
Request to Read data from the
Channel into the first inbound buffer, triggers an
ChannelInboundHandler.channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext, Object) event if data was
read, and triggers a
channelReadComplete event so the
handler can decide to continue reading. |

SocketAddress
is supposed to be down-cast into more
concrete type such as InetSocketAddress
to retrieve the detailed
information.null
if this channel is not connected.
If this channel is not connected but it can receive messages
from arbitrary remote addresses (e.g. DatagramChannel
,
use DefaultAddressedEnvelope.recipient()
to determine
the origination of the received message as this method will
return null
.ChannelFuture closeFuture()
ChannelFuture
which will be notified when this
channel is closed. This method always returns the same future instance.boolean isWritable()
true
if and only if the I/O thread will perform the
requested write operation immediately. Any write requests made when
this method returns false
are queued until the I/O thread is
ready to process the queued write requests.
WriteBufferWaterMark
can be used to configure on which condition
the write buffer would cause this channel to change writability.long bytesBeforeUnwritable()
isWritable()
returns false
.
This quantity will always be non-negative. If isWritable()
is false
then 0.
WriteBufferWaterMark
can be used to define writability settings.long bytesBeforeWritable()
isWritable()
returns true
.
This quantity will always be non-negative. If isWritable()
is true
then 0.

s.Channel read()
ChannelOutboundInvoker
Channel
into the first inbound buffer, triggers an
ChannelInboundHandler.channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext, Object)
event if data was
read, and triggers a
channelReadComplete
event so the
handler can decide to continue reading. If there's a pending read operation already, this method does nothing.
This will result in having the
ChannelOutboundHandler.read(ChannelHandlerContext)
method called of the next ChannelOutboundHandler
contained in the ChannelPipeline
of the
Channel
.
