Interface ServerChannel

All Superinterfaces:

AttributeMap, Channel, ChannelOutboundInvoker, Comparable<Channel>

All Known Subinterfaces:

SctpServerChannel, ServerDomainSocketChannel, ServerSocketChannel, UdtServerChannel

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractEpollServerChannel, AbstractKQueueServerChannel, AbstractServerChannel, EpollServerDomainSocketChannel, EpollServerSocketChannel, KQueueServerDomainSocketChannel, KQueueServerSocketChannel, LocalServerChannel, NioSctpServerChannel, NioServerDomainSocketChannel, NioServerSocketChannel, NioUdtAcceptorChannel, NioUdtByteAcceptorChannel, NioUdtMessageAcceptorChannel, OioSctpServerChannel, OioServerSocketChannel

public interface ServerChannel
extends Channel

A Channel that accepts an incoming connection attempt and creates its child Channels by accepting them. ServerSocketChannel is a good example.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
ByteBufAllocator	alloc()	Return the assigned ByteBufAllocator which will be used to allocate ByteBufs.
long	bytesBeforeUnwritable()	Get how many bytes can be written until Channel.isWritable() returns false.
long	bytesBeforeWritable()	Get how many bytes must be drained from underlying buffers until Channel.isWritable() returns true.
ChannelFuture	closeFuture()	Returns the ChannelFuture which will be notified when this channel is closed.
ChannelConfig	config()	Returns the configuration of this channel.
EventLoop	eventLoop()	Return the EventLoop this Channel was registered to.
Channel	flush()	Request to flush all pending messages via this ChannelOutboundInvoker.
ChannelId	id()	Returns the globally unique identifier of this Channel.
boolean	isActive()	Return true if the Channel is active and so connected.
boolean	isOpen()	Returns true if the Channel is open and may get active later
boolean	isRegistered()	Returns true if the Channel is registered with an EventLoop.
boolean	isWritable()	Returns true if and only if the I/O thread will perform the requested write operation immediately.
SocketAddress	localAddress()	Returns the local address where this channel is bound to.
ChannelMetadata	metadata()	Return the ChannelMetadata of the Channel which describe the nature of the Channel.
Channel	parent()	Returns the parent of this channel.
ChannelPipeline	pipeline()	Return the assigned ChannelPipeline.
Channel	read()	Request to Read data from the Channel into the first inbound buffer, triggers an ChannelInboundHandler.channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext, Object) event if data was read, and triggers a channelReadComplete event so the handler can decide to continue reading.
SocketAddress	remoteAddress()	Returns the remote address where this channel is connected to.
Channel.Unsafe	unsafe()	Returns an internal-use-only object that provides unsafe operations.
