An asynchronous file channel is created when a file is opened by invoking * one of the {@link #open open} methods defined by this class. The file contains * a variable-length sequence of bytes that can be read and written and whose * current size can be {@link #size() queried}. The size of the file increases * when bytes are written beyond its current size; the size of the file decreases * when it is {@link #truncate truncated}. * *

An asynchronous file channel does not have a current position * within the file. Instead, the file position is specified to each read and * write method that initiates asynchronous operations. A {@link CompletionHandler} * is specified as a parameter and is invoked to consume the result of the I/O * operation. This class also defines read and write methods that initiate * asynchronous operations, returning a {@link Future} to represent the pending * result of the operation. The {@code Future} may be used to check if the * operation has completed, wait for its completion, and retrieve the result. * *

In addition to read and write operations, this class defines the * following operations:

* * * *

An {@code AsynchronousFileChannel} is associated with a thread pool to * which tasks are submitted to handle I/O events and dispatch to completion * handlers that consume the results of I/O operations on the channel. The * completion handler for an I/O operation initiated on a channel is guaranteed * to be invoked by one of the threads in the thread pool (This ensures that the * completion handler is run by a thread with the expected identity). * Where an I/O operation completes immediately, and the initiating thread is * itself a thread in the thread pool, then the completion handler may be invoked * directly by the initiating thread. When an {@code AsynchronousFileChannel} is * created without specifying a thread pool then the channel is associated with * a system-dependent default thread pool that may be shared with other * channels. The default thread pool is configured by the system properties * defined by the {@link AsynchronousChannelGroup} class. * *

Channels of this type are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. The * {@link Channel#close close} method may be invoked at any time, as specified * by the {@link Channel} interface. This causes all outstanding asynchronous * operations on the channel to complete with the exception {@link * AsynchronousCloseException}. Multiple read and write operations may be * outstanding at the same time. When multiple read and write operations are * outstanding then the ordering of the I/O operations, and the order that the * completion handlers are invoked, is not specified; they are not, in particular, * guaranteed to execute in the order that the operations were initiated. The * {@link java.nio.ByteBuffer ByteBuffers} used when reading or writing are not * safe for use by multiple concurrent I/O operations. Furthermore, after an I/O * operation is initiated then care should be taken to ensure that the buffer is * not accessed until after the operation has completed. * *

As with {@link FileChannel}, the view of a file provided by an instance of * this class is guaranteed to be consistent with other views of the same file * provided by other instances in the same program. The view provided by an * instance of this class may or may not, however, be consistent with the views * seen by other concurrently-running programs due to caching performed by the * underlying operating system and delays induced by network-filesystem protocols. * This is true regardless of the language in which these other programs are * written, and whether they are running on the same machine or on some other * machine. The exact nature of any such inconsistencies are system-dependent * and are therefore unspecified. * * @since 1.7 */ public abstract class AsynchronousFileChannel implements AsynchronousChannel { /** * Initializes a new instance of this class. */ protected AsynchronousFileChannel() { } /** * Opens or creates a file for reading and/or writing, returning an * asynchronous file channel to access the file. * *

The {@code options} parameter determines how the file is opened. * The {@link StandardOpenOption#READ READ} and {@link StandardOpenOption#WRITE * WRITE} options determines if the file should be opened for reading and/or * writing. If neither option is contained in the array then an existing file * is opened for reading. * *

In addition to {@code READ} and {@code WRITE}, the following options * may be present: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Option Description
{@link StandardOpenOption#TRUNCATE_EXISTING TRUNCATE_EXISTING} When opening an existing file, the file is first truncated to a * size of 0 bytes. This option is ignored when the file is opened only * for reading.
{@link StandardOpenOption#CREATE_NEW CREATE_NEW} If this option is present then a new file is created, failing if * the file already exists. When creating a file the check for the * existence of the file and the creation of the file if it does not exist * is atomic with respect to other file system operations. This option is * ignored when the file is opened only for reading.
{@link StandardOpenOption#CREATE CREATE} If this option is present then an existing file is opened if it * exists, otherwise a new file is created. When creating a file the check * for the existence of the file and the creation of the file if it does * not exist is atomic with respect to other file system operations. This * option is ignored if the {@code CREATE_NEW} option is also present or * the file is opened only for reading.
{@link StandardOpenOption#DELETE_ON_CLOSE DELETE_ON_CLOSE} When this option is present then the implementation makes a * best effort attempt to delete the file when closed by the * the {@link #close close} method. If the {@code close} method is not * invoked then a best effort attempt is made to delete the file * when the Java virtual machine terminates.
{@link StandardOpenOption#SPARSE SPARSE} When creating a new file this option is a hint that the * new file will be sparse. This option is ignored when not creating * a new file.
{@link StandardOpenOption#SYNC SYNC} Requires that every update to the file's content or metadata be * written synchronously to the underlying storage device. (see Synchronized I/O file * integrity).
{@link StandardOpenOption#DSYNC DSYNC} Requires that every update to the file's content be written * synchronously to the underlying storage device. (see Synchronized I/O file * integrity).
* *

An implementation may also support additional options. * *

The {@code executor} parameter is the {@link ExecutorService} to * which tasks are submitted to handle I/O events and dispatch completion * results for operations initiated on resulting channel. * The nature of these tasks is highly implementation specific and so care * should be taken when configuring the {@code Executor}. Minimally it * should support an unbounded work queue and should not run tasks on the * caller thread of the {@link ExecutorService#execute execute} method. * Shutting down the executor service while the channel is open results in * unspecified behavior. * *

The {@code attrs} parameter is an optional array of file {@link * FileAttribute file-attributes} to set atomically when creating the file. * *

The {@code metaData} parameter can be used to limit the number of * I/O operations that this method is required to perform.

This method initiates an operation to acquire a lock on the given * region of this channel's file.

The result passed to the completion handler is the * resulting {@code FileLock}. * *

The region specified by the {@code position} and {@code size} * parameters need not be contained within, or even overlap, the actual * underlying file. Lock regions are fixed in size; if a locked region * initially contains the end of the file and the file grows beyond the * region then the new portion of the file will not be covered by the lock. * If a file is expected to grow in size and a lock on the entire file is * required then a region starting at zero, and no smaller than the * expected maximum size of the file, should be locked.

Some operating systems do not support a mechanism to acquire a file * lock in an asynchronous manner.
