## Uses of Interface
java.nio.channels.Channel

Packages that use Channel
java.lang | Provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language.
java.nio.channels | Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.
java.nio.channels.spi | Service-provider classes for the ``java.nio.channels`` package.

Uses of Channel in java.lang

Methods in java.lang that return Channel
`static Channel` | `System.inheritedChannel()` Returns the channel inherited from the entity that created this Java virtual machine.

Uses of Channel in java.nio.channels.spi

Classes in java.nio.channels.spi that implement Channel
`class` | `AbstractInterruptibleChannel` Base implementation class for interruptible channels.
`class` | `AbstractSelectableChannel` Base implementation class for selectable channels.

Methods in java.nio.channels.spi that return Channel
`Channel` | `SelectorProvider.inheritedChannel()` Returns the channel inherited from the entity that created this Java virtual machine.
