Uses of Interface
java.nio.channels.Channel

Packages that use Channel

Package	Description
java.lang	Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language.
java.nio.channels	Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.
java.nio.channels.spi	Service-provider classes for the java.nio.channels package.
