/**
* A token representing the registration of a {@link SelectableChannel} with a
* {@link Selector}.
*
* <p> A selection key is created each time a channel is registered with a
* selector. A key remains valid until it is <i>cancelled</i> by invoking its
* {@link #cancel cancel} method, by closing its channel, or by closing its
* selector. Cancelling a key does not immediately remove it from its
* selector; it is instead added to the selector's <a
* href="Selector.html#ks"><i>cancelled-key set</i></a> for removal during the
* next selection operation. The validity of a key may be tested by invoking
* its {@link #isValid isValid} method.
*
* <a name="opsets">
*
* <p> A selection key contains two <i>operation sets</i> represented as
* integer values. Each bit of an operation set denotes a category of
* selectable operations that are supported by the key's channel.
*
* <ul>
*
* <li><p> The <i>interest set</i> determines which operation categories will
* be tested for readiness the next time one of the selector's selection
* methods is invoked. The interest set is initialized with the value given
* when the key is created; it may later be changed via the {@link
* #interestOps(int)} method. </p></li>
*
* <li><p> The <i>ready set</i> identifies the operation categories for which
* the key's channel has been detected to be ready by the key's selector.
* The ready set is initialized to zero when the key is created; it may later
* be updated by the selector during a selection operation, but it cannot be
* updated directly. </p></li>
*
* </ul>
*
* <p> That a selection key's ready set indicates that its channel is ready for
* some operation category is a hint, but not a guarantee, that an operation in
* such a category may be performed by a thread without causing the thread to
* block. A ready set is most likely to be accurate immediately after the
* completion of a selection operation. It is likely to be made inaccurate by
* external events and by I/O operations that are invoked upon the
* corresponding channel.
*
* <p> This class defines all known operation-set bits, but precisely which
* bits are supported by a given channel depends upon the type of the channel.
* Each subclass of {@link SelectableChannel} defines an {@link
* SelectableChannel#validOps() validOps()} method which returns a set
* identifying just those operations that are supported by the channel. An
* attempt to set or test an operation-set bit that is not supported by a key's
* channel will result in an appropriate run-time exception.
*
* <p> It is often necessary to associate some application-specific data with a
* selection key, for example an object that represents the state of a
* higher-level protocol and handles readiness notifications in order to
* implement that protocol. Selection keys therefore support the
* <i>attachment</i> of a single arbitrary object to a key. An object can be
* attached via the {@link #attach attach} method and then later retrieved via
* the {@link #attachment() attachment} method.
*
* <p> Selection keys are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. The
* operations of reading and writing the interest set will, in general, be
* synchronized with certain operations of the selector. Exactly how this
* synchronization is performed is implementation-dependent: In a naive
* implementation, reading or writing the interest set may block indefinitely
* if a selection operation is already in progress; in a high-performance
* implementation, reading or writing the interest set may block briefly, if at
* all. In any case, a selection operation will always use the interest-set
* value that was current at the moment that the operation began. </p>
