| Package | Description | 
|---|---|
| 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.channelspackage. | 
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| static AsynchronousChannelGroup | AsynchronousChannelGroup. withCachedThreadPool(ExecutorService executor,
                    int initialSize)Creates an asynchronous channel group with a given thread pool that
 creates new threads as needed. | 
| static AsynchronousChannelGroup | AsynchronousChannelGroup. withFixedThreadPool(int nThreads,
                   ThreadFactory threadFactory)Creates an asynchronous channel group with a fixed thread pool. | 
| static AsynchronousChannelGroup | AsynchronousChannelGroup. withThreadPool(ExecutorService executor)Creates an asynchronous channel group with a given thread pool. |
