Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition

Name

Pipe.SourceChannel

Synopsis

This public inner class is represents the read end of a pipe. Bytes that are written to the corresponding write end of the pipe (see Pipe.SinkChannel) become available for reading through this channel. Obtain a Pipe.SourceChannel by creating a Pipe object with Pipe.open( ) and then calling the source( ) method of that object. See also the containing Pipe class.

Pipe.SourceChannel implements ReadableByteChannel and ScatteringByteChannel and defines the read( ) methods of those interfaces. This class subclasses SelectableChannel, so that it can be used with a Selector. It overrides the abstract validOps( ) method of SelectableChannel to return SelectionKey.OP_READ, but defines no new methods of its own.

public abstract static class Pipe.SourceChannel extends java.nio.channels.spi.
AbstractSelectableChannel implements ReadableByteChannel, ScatteringByteChannel {
// Protected Constructors
     protected SourceChannel(java.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider provider);  
// Public Methods Overriding SelectableChannel
     public final int validOps( );            constant
}
