- io.netty5.bootstrap.AbstractBootstrap<B,C,F>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

Bootstrap, ServerBootstrap
```
public abstract class AbstractBootstrap<B extends AbstractBootstrap<B,C,F>,C extends Channel,F>
extends Object
implements Cloneable
```
AbstractBootstrap is a helper class that makes it easy to bootstrap a Channel. It support method-chaining to provide an easy way to configure the AbstractBootstrap.
When not used in a ServerBootstrap context, the bind() methods are useful for connectionless transports such as datagram (UDP).

`Future<Channel>`	`bind(SocketAddress localAddress)`	Create a new `Channel` and bind it.
`abstract B`	`clone()`	Returns a deep clone of this bootstrap which has the identical configuration.
`abstract AbstractBootstrapConfig<B,C,F>`	`config()`	Returns the `AbstractBootstrapConfig` object that can be used to obtain the current config of the bootstrap.
`Channel`	`createUnregistered()`	Create a new unregistered channel.
`EventLoopGroup`	`group()`	Deprecated. Use `config()` instead.
`B`	`group(EventLoopGroup group)`	The `EventLoopGroup` which is used to handle all the events for the to-be-created `Channel`
`B`	`handler(ChannelHandler handler)`	the `ChannelHandler` to use for serving the requests.
`B`	`localAddress(int inetPort)`
`B`	`localAddress(String inetHost, int inetPort)`
`B`	`localAddress(InetAddress inetHost, int inetPort)`
`B`	`localAddress(SocketAddress localAddress)`	The `SocketAddress` which is used to bind the local "end" to.
`<T> B`	`option(ChannelOption<T> option, T value)`	Allow to specify a `ChannelOption` which is used for the `Channel` instances once they got created.
`Future<Channel>`	`register()`	Create a new `Channel` and register it with an `EventLoop`.
`String`	`toString()`
`B`	`validate()`	Validate all the parameters.

- Method Detail
  - group
```
public B group(EventLoopGroup group)
```
    The EventLoopGroup which is used to handle all the events for the to-be-created Channel
  - localAddress
```
public B localAddress(SocketAddress localAddress)
```
    The SocketAddress which is used to bind the local "end" to.
  - localAddress
```
public B localAddress(int inetPort)
```
    See Also:
    
    localAddress(SocketAddress)
  - localAddress
```
public B localAddress(String inetHost,
                      int inetPort)
```
    See Also:
    
    localAddress(SocketAddress)
  - localAddress
```
public B localAddress(InetAddress inetHost,
                      int inetPort)
```
    See Also:
    
    localAddress(SocketAddress)
  - option
```
public <T> B option(ChannelOption<T> option,
                    T value)
```
    Allow to specify a ChannelOption which is used for the Channel instances once they got created. Use a value of null to remove a previous set ChannelOption.
  - attr
```
public <T> B attr(AttributeKey<T> key,
                  T value)
```
    Allow to specify an initial attribute of the newly created Channel. If the value is null, the attribute of the specified key is removed.
  - validate
```
public B validate()
```
    Validate all the parameters. Sub-classes may override this, but should call the super method in that case.
  - clone
```
public abstract B clone()
```
    Returns a deep clone of this bootstrap which has the identical configuration. This method is useful when making multiple Channels with similar settings. Please note that this method does not clone the EventLoopGroup deeply but shallowly, making the group a shared resource.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class Object
  - register
```
public Future<Channel> register()
```
    Create a new Channel and register it with an EventLoop.
  - createUnregistered
```
public Channel createUnregistered()
                           throws Exception
```
    Create a new unregistered channel.
    The channel must then be registered separately.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new unregistered channel.
    
    Throws:
    
    Exception - If the channel cannot be created.
  - bind
```
public Future<Channel> bind()
```
    Create a new Channel and bind it.
  - bind
```
public Future<Channel> bind(int inetPort)
```
    Create a new Channel and bind it.
  - bind
```
public Future<Channel> bind(String inetHost,
                            int inetPort)
```
    Create a new Channel and bind it.
  - bind
```
public Future<Channel> bind(InetAddress inetHost,
                            int inetPort)
```
    Create a new Channel and bind it.
  - bind
```
public Future<Channel> bind(SocketAddress localAddress)
```
    Create a new Channel and bind it.
  - handler
```
public B handler(ChannelHandler handler)
```
    the ChannelHandler to use for serving the requests.
  - group
```
@Deprecated
public final EventLoopGroup group()
```
    Deprecated.
    Use config() instead.
    
    Returns the configured EventLoopGroup or null if non is configured yet.
  - config
```
public abstract AbstractBootstrapConfig<B,C,F> config()
```
    Returns the AbstractBootstrapConfig object that can be used to obtain the current config of the bootstrap.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
