Field Details

resource

protected final transient AtomicReference<T> resource

An optional, closeable resource that is related to this instance. If the reference is non-null, this will be closed upon close(). For unidirectional implementations, this could be the corresponding input/output stream. For bidirectional implementations (e.g., a Socket, Pipe, etc.), this should close both directions.

Constructor Details

RemoteFileDescriptorBase

public RemoteFileDescriptorBase()

Creates an uninitialized instance; used for externalization.

See Also:

• readExternal(ObjectInput)

Method Details

writeExternal

public final void writeExternal(ObjectOutput objOut)
                         throws IOException

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface Externalizable

Throws:

IOException

readExternal

public final void readExternal(ObjectInput objIn)
                        throws IOException,
ClassNotFoundException

Specified by:

readExternal in interface Externalizable

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

getFileDescriptor

public final FileDescriptor getFileDescriptor()

Returns the file descriptor. This is either the original one that was specified in the constructor or a copy that was sent via RMI over an AF_UNIX connection as part of an ancillary message.

Specified by:

getFileDescriptor in interface org.newsclub.net.unix.FileDescriptorAccess

Returns:

The file descriptor.

getMagicValue

protected final int getMagicValue()

Returns the "magic value" for this type of file descriptor. The magic value consists of an indicator ("this is a file descriptor") as well as its capabilities (read/write). It is used to prevent, for example, converting an output stream to an input stream.

Returns:

The magic value.

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Throws:

IOException
