public interface ChannelConfig

A set of configuration properties of a Channel.

Please down-cast to more specific configuration type such as SocketChannelConfig or use setOptions(Map) to set the transport-specific properties:

 Channel ch = ...;
 SocketChannelConfig cfg = (SocketChannelConfig) ch.getConfig();
 cfg.setTcpNoDelay(false);

Option map

An option map property is a dynamic write-only property which allows the configuration of a Channel without down-casting its associated ChannelConfig. To update an option map, please call setOptions(Map).

All ChannelConfig has the following options:

Name	Associated setter method
`ChannelOption.CONNECT_TIMEOUT_MILLIS`	`setConnectTimeoutMillis(int)`
`ChannelOption.WRITE_SPIN_COUNT`	`setWriteSpinCount(int)`
`ChannelOption.WRITE_BUFFER_WATER_MARK`	`setWriteBufferWaterMark(WriteBufferWaterMark)`
`ChannelOption.ALLOCATOR`	`setAllocator(ByteBufAllocator)`
`ChannelOption.AUTO_READ`	`setAutoRead(boolean)`

More options are available in the sub-types of ChannelConfig. For example, you can configure the parameters which are specific to a TCP/IP socket as explained in SocketChannelConfig.

<T> boolean setOption(ChannelOption<T> option,
                      T value)
```
    Sets a configuration property with the specified name and value. To override this method properly, you must call the super class:
    public boolean setOption(ChannelOption<T> option, T value) { if (super.setOption(option, value)) { return true; } if (option.equals(additionalOption)) { .... return true; } return false; }
    Returns:
    
    true if and only if the property has been set
  - getConnectTimeoutMillis
```
int getConnectTimeoutMillis()
```
    Returns the connect timeout of the channel in milliseconds. If the Channel does not support connect operation, this property is not used at all, and therefore will be ignored.
    
    Returns:
    
    the connect timeout in milliseconds. 0 if disabled.
  - setConnectTimeoutMillis
```
ChannelConfig setConnectTimeoutMillis(int connectTimeoutMillis)
```
    Sets the connect timeout of the channel in milliseconds. If the Channel does not support connect operation, this property is not used at all, and therefore will be ignored.
    
    Parameters:
    
    connectTimeoutMillis - the connect timeout in milliseconds. 0 to disable.
  - getMaxMessagesPerRead
```
@Deprecated
int getMaxMessagesPerRead()
```
    Deprecated.
    Use MaxMessagesRecvByteBufAllocator and MaxMessagesRecvByteBufAllocator.maxMessagesPerRead().
    Returns the maximum number of messages to read per read loop. a channelRead() event. If this value is greater than 1, an event loop might attempt to read multiple times to procure multiple messages.

```
    Deprecated.
    Use MaxMessagesRecvByteBufAllocator and MaxMessagesRecvByteBufAllocator.maxMessagesPerRead(int).

```
int getWriteSpinCount()
```
    Returns the maximum loop count for a write operation until WritableByteChannel.write(ByteBuffer) returns a non-zero value.
