java.nio.channels.Channel

Packages that use Channel
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.
