SelectionKey
abstract class SelectionKey
kotlin.Any | |
↳ | java.nio.channels.SelectionKey |
A token representing the registration of a SelectableChannel
with a Selector
.
A selection key is created each time a channel is registered with a selector. A key remains valid until it is cancelled by invoking its cancel
method, by closing its channel, or by closing its selector. Cancelling a key does not immediately remove it from its selector; it is instead added to the selector's cancelled-key set for removal during the next selection operation. The validity of a key may be tested by invoking its isValid
method.
A selection key contains two operation sets represented as integer values. Each bit of an operation set denotes a category of selectable operations that are supported by the key's channel.
- The interest set determines which operation categories will be tested for readiness the next time one of the selector's selection methods is invoked. The interest set is initialized with the value given when the key is created; it may later be changed via the
interestOps(int)
method. - The ready set identifies the operation categories for which the key's channel has been detected to be ready by the key's selector. The ready set is initialized to zero when the key is created; it may later be updated by the selector during a selection operation, but it cannot be updated directly.
That a selection key's ready set indicates that its channel is ready for some operation category is a hint, but not a guarantee, that an operation in such a category may be performed by a thread without causing the thread to block. A ready set is most likely to be accurate immediately after the completion of a selection operation. It is likely to be made inaccurate by external events and by I/O operations that are invoked upon the corresponding channel.
This class defines all known operation-set bits, but precisely which bits are supported by a given channel depends upon the type of the channel. Each subclass of SelectableChannel
defines an validOps()
method which returns a set identifying just those operations that are supported by the channel. An attempt to set or test an operation-set bit that is not supported by a key's channel will result in an appropriate run-time exception.
It is often necessary to associate some application-specific data with a selection key, for example an object that represents the state of a higher-level protocol and handles readiness notifications in order to implement that protocol. Selection keys therefore support the attachment of a single arbitrary object to a key. An object can be attached via the attach
method and then later retrieved via the attachment
method.
Selection keys are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. A selection operation will always use the interest-set value that was current at the moment that the operation began.

Constants
OP_ACCEPT
static val OP_ACCEPT: Int
Operation-set bit for socket-accept operations.
Suppose that a selection key's interest set contains OP_ACCEPT
at the start of a selection operation. If the selector detects that the corresponding server-socket channel is ready to accept another connection, or has an error pending, then it will add OP_ACCEPT
to the key's ready set.
Value: 16
OP_CONNECT
static val OP_CONNECT: Int
Operation-set bit for socket-connect operations.
Suppose that a selection key's interest set contains OP_CONNECT
at the start of a selection operation. If the selector detects that the corresponding socket channel is ready to complete its connection sequence, or has an error pending, then it will add OP_CONNECT
to the key's ready set.
Value: 8
OP_READ
static val OP_READ: Int
Operation-set bit for read operations.
Suppose that a selection key's interest set contains OP_READ
at the start of a selection operation. If the selector detects that the corresponding channel is ready for reading, has reached end-of-stream, has been remotely shut down for further reading, or has an error pending, then it will add OP_READ
to the key's ready-operation set.
Value: 1
OP_WRITE
static val OP_WRITE: Int
Operation-set bit for write operations.
Suppose that a selection key's interest set contains OP_WRITE
at the start of a selection operation. If the selector detects that the corresponding channel is ready for writing, has been remotely shut down for further writing, or has an error pending, then it will add OP_WRITE
to the key's ready set.
Value: 4
Protected constructors
Public methods
attach
fun attach(ob: Any!): Any!
Attaches the given object to this key.
An attached object may later be retrieved via the attachment
method. Only one object may be attached at a time; invoking this method causes any previous attachment to be discarded. The current attachment may be discarded by attaching null
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
ob |
Any!: The object to be attached; may be null |
Return | |
---|---|
Any! |
The previously-attached object, if any, otherwise null |
attachment
fun attachment(): Any!
Retrieves the current attachment.
Return | |
---|---|
Any! |
The object currently attached to this key, or null if there is no attachment |
cancel
abstract fun cancel(): Unit
Requests that the registration of this key's channel with its selector be cancelled. Upon return the key will be invalid and will have been added to its selector's cancelled-key set. The key will be removed from all of the selector's key sets during the next selection operation.
If this key has already been cancelled then invoking this method has no effect. Once cancelled, a key remains forever invalid.
This method may be invoked at any time. It synchronizes on the selector's cancelled-key set, and therefore may block briefly if invoked concurrently with a cancellation or selection operation involving the same selector.
channel
abstract fun channel(): SelectableChannel!
Returns the channel for which this key was created. This method will continue to return the channel even after the key is cancelled.
Return | |
---|---|
SelectableChannel! |
This key's channel |
interestOps
abstract fun interestOps(): Int
Retrieves this key's interest set.
It is guaranteed that the returned set will only contain operation bits that are valid for this key's channel.
Return | |
---|---|
Int |
This key's interest set |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.nio.channels.CancelledKeyException |
If this key has been cancelled |
interestOps
abstract fun interestOps(ops: Int): SelectionKey!
Sets this key's interest set to the given value.
This method may be invoked at any time. If this method is invoked while a selection operation is in progress then it has no effect upon that operation; the change to the key's interest set will be seen by the next selection operation.

If this key has been cancelled |
interestOpsAnd
open fun interestOpsAnd(ops: Int): Int
Atomically sets this key's interest set to the bitwise intersection ("and") of the existing interest set and the given value. This method is guaranteed to be atomic with respect to other concurrent calls to this method or to interestOpsOr(int)
.
This method may be invoked at any time. If this method is invoked while a selection operation is in progress then it has no effect upon that operation; the change to the key's interest set will be seen by the next selection operation.

.
This method may be invoked at any time. If this method is invoked while a selection operation is in progress then it has no effect upon that operation; the change to the key's interest set will be seen by the next selection operation.
