/**
* An abstract channel type for interaction with a platform file.
* <p>
* A {@code FileChannel} defines the methods for reading, writing, memory
* mapping, and manipulating the logical state of a platform file. This type
* does not have a method for opening files, since this behavior has been
* delegated to the {@link java.io.FileInputStream},
* {@link java.io.FileOutputStream} and {@link java.io.RandomAccessFile} types.
* <p>
* FileChannels created from a {@code FileInputStream} or a
* {@code RandomAccessFile} created in mode "r", are read-only. FileChannels
* created from a {@code FileOutputStream} are write-only. FileChannels created
* from a {@code RandomAccessFile} created in mode "rw" are read/write.
* FileChannels created from a {@code RandomAccessFile} that was opened in
* append-mode will also be in append-mode -- meaning that each write will be
* proceeded by a seek to the end of file.
* <p>
* FileChannels have a virtual pointer into the file which is referred to as a
* file <em>position</em>. The position can be manipulated by moving it
* within the file, and the current position can be queried.
* <p>
* FileChannels also have an associated <em>size</em>. The size of the file
* is the number of bytes that it currently contains. The size can be
* manipulated by adding more bytes to the end of the file (which increases the
* size) or truncating the file (which decreases the size). The current size can
* also be queried.
* <p>
* FileChannels have operations beyond the simple read, write, and close. They
* can also:
* <ul>
* <li>request that cached data be forced onto the disk,</li>
* <li>lock ranges of bytes associated with the file,</li>
* <li>transfer data directly to another channel in a manner that has the
* potential to be optimized by the platform,</li>
* <li>memory-mapping files into NIO buffers to provide efficient manipulation
* of file data,</li>
* <li>read and write to the file at absolute byte offsets in a fashion that
* does not modify the current position.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* FileChannels are thread-safe. Only one operation involving manipulation of
* the file position may be executed at the same time. Subsequent calls to such
* operations will block, and one of those blocked will be freed to continue
* when the first operation has completed. There is no ordered queue or fairness
* applied to the blocked threads.
* <p>
* It is undefined whether operations that do not manipulate the file position
* will also block when there are any other operations in-flight.
* <p>
* The logical view of the underlying file is consistent across all FileChannels
* and I/O streams opened on the same file by the same virtual machine process.
* Therefore, modifications performed via a channel will be visible to the
* stream and vice versa; this includes modifications to the file position,
* content, size, etc.
