30 * {@link FileChannel#transferTo(long, long, WritableByteChannel)} has at least
31 * four known bugs in the old versions of Sun JDK and perhaps its derived ones.
32 * Please upgrade your JDK to 1.6.0_18 or later version if you are going to use
33 * zero-copy file transfer.

36 * - FileChannel.transferTo() should return -1 for EAGAIN instead throws IOException</li>
37 * <li><a href="https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6253145">6253145</a>
38 * - FileChannel.transferTo() on Linux fails when going beyond 2GB boundary</li>
39 * <li><a href="https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6427312">6427312</a>
40 * - FileChannel.transferTo() throws IOException "system call interrupted"</li>

45 * <h3>Check your operating system and JDK / JRE</h3>
46 *
47 * If your operating system (or JDK / JRE) does not support zero-copy file
48 * transfer, sending a file with {@link FileRegion} might fail or yield worse
49 * performance. For example, sending a large file doesn't work well in Windows.
