EventLoop (Netty API Reference (5.0.0.Alpha4))

All Superinterfaces:

EventExecutor, EventExecutorGroup, EventLoopGroup, Executor, FuturePromiseFactory, Iterable<EventExecutor>, OrderedEventExecutor

All Known Implementing Classes:

SingleThreadEventLoop
```
public interface EventLoop
extends OrderedEventExecutor, EventLoopGroup
```
Will handle all the I/O operations for a IoHandle once registered.
One EventLoop instance will usually handle more than one IoHandle but this may depend on implementation details and internals.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`Future<Void>`	`deregisterForIo(IoHandle handle)`	Deregister the `Channel` from the `EventLoop` for I/O processing.
`boolean`	`isCompatible(Class<? extends IoHandle> handleType)`	Returns `true` if the given type is compatible with this `EventLoopGroup` and so can be registered to the contained `EventLoop`s, `false` otherwise.
`default EventLoop`	`next()`	Returns a reference to itself.
`Future<Void>`	`registerForIo(IoHandle handle)`	Register the `IoHandle` to the `EventLoop` for I/O processing.

  - registerForIo
```
Future<Void> registerForIo(IoHandle handle)
```
    Register the IoHandle to the EventLoop for I/O processing.
    
    Parameters:
    
    handle - the IoHandle to register.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Future that is notified once the operations completes.
  - deregisterForIo
```
Future<Void> deregisterForIo(IoHandle handle)
```
    Deregister the Channel from the EventLoop for I/O processing.
    
    Parameters:
    
    channel - the IoHandle to deregister.
    
    Returns:
    
    the Future that is notified once the operations completes.
  - isCompatible
```
boolean isCompatible(Class<? extends IoHandle> handleType)
```
    Description copied from interface: EventLoopGroup
    
    Returns true if the given type is compatible with this EventLoopGroup and so can be registered to the contained EventLoops, false otherwise.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isCompatible in interface EventLoopGroup
    
    Parameters:
    
    handleType - the type of the IoHandle.
    
    Returns:
    
    if compatible of not.
