default ChannelFuture bind(java.net.SocketAddress localAddress)
```
    Request to bind to the given SocketAddress and notify the ChannelFuture once the operation completes, either because the operation was successful or because of an error.

```
    Request to deregister from the previous assigned EventExecutor and notify the ChannelFuture once the operation completes, either because the operation was successful or because of an error. The given ChannelPromise will be notified.
    This will result in having the ChannelOutboundHandler.deregister(ChannelHandlerContext, ChannelPromise) method called of the next ChannelOutboundHandler contained in the ChannelPipeline of the Channel.

    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. If there's a pending read operation already, this method does nothing.
    This will result in having the ChannelOutboundHandler.read(ChannelHandlerContext) method called of the next ChannelOutboundHandler contained in the ChannelPipeline of the Channel.
  - write
```
default ChannelFuture write(java.lang.Object msg)
```
    Request to write a message via this ChannelHandlerContext through the ChannelPipeline. This method will not request to actual flush, so be sure to call flush() once you want to request to flush all pending data to the actual transport.
  - write
```
ChannelFuture write(java.lang.Object msg,
                    ChannelPromise promise)
```
    Request to write a message via this ChannelHandlerContext through the ChannelPipeline. This method will not request to actual flush, so be sure to call flush() once you want to request to flush all pending data to the actual transport.
  - flush
```
ChannelOutboundInvoker flush()
```
    Request to flush all pending messages via this ChannelOutboundInvoker.
  - writeAndFlush
```
ChannelFuture writeAndFlush(java.lang.Object msg,
                            ChannelPromise promise)
```
    Shortcut for call write(Object, ChannelPromise) and flush().
  - writeAndFlush
```
default ChannelFuture writeAndFlush(java.lang.Object msg)
```
    Shortcut for call write(Object) and flush().
  - newPromise
```
ChannelPromise newPromise()
```
    Return a new ChannelPromise.
  - newProgressivePromise
```
ChannelProgressivePromise newProgressivePromise()
```
    Return an new ChannelProgressivePromise
  - newSucceededFuture
```
ChannelFuture newSucceededFuture()
```
    Create a new ChannelFuture which is marked as succeeded already. So Future.isSuccess() will return true. All FutureListener added to it will be notified directly. Also every call of blocking methods will just return without blocking.
  - newFailedFuture
```
ChannelFuture newFailedFuture(java.lang.Throwable cause)
```
    Create a new ChannelFuture which is marked as failed already. So Future.isSuccess() will return false. All FutureListener added to it will be notified directly. Also every call of blocking methods will just return without blocking.
  - voidPromise
```
ChannelPromise voidPromise()
```
    Return a special ChannelPromise which can be reused for different operations.
    It's only supported to use it for write(Object, ChannelPromise).
    
    Be aware that the returned ChannelPromise will not support most operations and should only be used if you want to save an object allocation for every write operation. You will not be able to detect if the operation was complete, only if it failed as the implementation will call ChannelPipeline.fireExceptionCaught(Throwable) in this case.
    Be aware this is an expert feature and should be used with care!
