	/**
	* A selectable channel for stream-oriented connecting sockets.
	*
	* <p> A socket channel is created by invoking one of the {@link #open open}
	* methods of this class. It is not possible to create a channel for an arbitrary,
	* pre-existing socket. A newly-created socket channel is open but not yet
	* connected. An attempt to invoke an I/O operation upon an unconnected
	* channel will cause a {@link NotYetConnectedException} to be thrown. A
	* socket channel can be connected by invoking its {@link #connect connect}
	* method; once connected, a socket channel remains connected until it is
	* closed. Whether or not a socket channel is connected may be determined by
	* invoking its {@link #isConnected isConnected} method.
	*
	* <p> Socket channels support <i>non-blocking connection:</i> A socket
	* channel may be created and the process of establishing the link to the
	* remote socket may be initiated via the {@link #connect connect} method for
	* later completion by the {@link #finishConnect finishConnect} method.
	* Whether or not a connection operation is in progress may be determined by
	* invoking the {@link #isConnectionPending isConnectionPending} method.
	*
	* <p> Socket channels support <i>asynchronous shutdown,</i> which is similar
	* to the asynchronous close operation specified in the {@link Channel} class.
	* If the input side of a socket is shut down by one thread while another
	* thread is blocked in a read operation on the socket's channel, then the read
	* operation in the blocked thread will complete without reading any bytes and
	* will return <tt>-1</tt>. If the output side of a socket is shut down by one
	* thread while another thread is blocked in a write operation on the socket's
	* channel, then the blocked thread will receive an {@link
	* AsynchronousCloseException}.
	*
	* <p> Socket options are configured using the {@link #setOption(SocketOption,Object)
	* setOption} method. Socket channels support the following options:
	* <blockquote>
	* <table border summary="Socket options">
	* <tr>
	* <th>Option Name</th>
	* <th>Description</th>
	* </tr>
	* <tr>
	* <td> {@link java.net.StandardSocketOptions#SO_SNDBUF SO_SNDBUF} </td>
	* <td> The size of the socket send buffer </td>
	* </tr>
	* <tr>
	* <td> {@link java.net.StandardSocketOptions#SO_RCVBUF SO_RCVBUF} </td>
	* <td> The size of the socket receive buffer </td>
	* </tr>
	* <tr>
	* <td> {@link java.net.StandardSocketOptions#SO_KEEPALIVE SO_KEEPALIVE} </td>
	* <td> Keep connection alive </td>
	* </tr>
	* <tr>
	* <td> {@link java.net.StandardSocketOptions#SO_REUSEADDR SO_REUSEADDR} </td>
	* <td> Re-use address </td>
	* </tr>
	* <tr>
	* <td> {@link java.net.StandardSocketOptions#SO_LINGER SO_LINGER} </td>
	* <td> Linger on close if data is present (when configured in blocking mode
	* only) </td>
	* </tr>
	* <tr>
	* <td> {@link java.net.StandardSocketOptions#TCP_NODELAY TCP_NODELAY} </td>
	* <td> Disable the Nagle algorithm </td>
	* </tr>
	* </table>
	* </blockquote>
	* Additional (implementation specific) options may also be supported.
	*
	* <p> Socket channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. They
	* support concurrent reading and writing, though at most one thread may be
	* reading and at most one thread may be writing at any given time. The {@link
	* #connect connect} and {@link #finishConnect finishConnect} methods are
	* mutually synchronized against each other, and an attempt to initiate a read
	* or write operation while an invocation of one of these methods is in
	* progress will block until that invocation is complete. </p>
