Data transfer between Java NIO channels

In Java NiO, if one of the two channels is FileChannel, you can transfer the data directly from one channel (translator note: Channel Chinese translation channels) to another channel.

Transferfrom ()

The Transferfrom () method of the FileChannel can transfer data from the source channel to the FileChannel (translator Note: This method is interpreted in the JDK document as the transfer of bytes from a given readable byte channel to a file in this channel). The following is a simple example:

Randomaccessfile fromfile = new Randomaccessfile ("FromFile.txt", "RW"); FileChannel      Fromchannel = Fromfile.getchannel (); Randomaccessfile tofile = new Randomaccessfile ("ToFile.txt", "RW"); FileChannel      Tochannel = Tofile.getchannel (); Long position = 0;long count = Fromchannel.size (); Tochannel.transferfrom (position, count, Fromchannel);

The input parameter of the position method means that the data is written to the destination file starting at position, and count represents the maximum number of bytes transferred. If the remaining space of the source channel is less than count bytes, the number of bytes transferred is less than the number of bytes requested.
Also note that in the Soketchannel implementation, Socketchannel only transmits the data that is prepared at this point (which may be less than count bytes). Therefore, Socketchannel may not transfer all of the requested data (count bytes) to FileChannel.

TransferTo ()

The TransferTo () method transfers data from the FileChannel to other channel. The following is a simple example:

Randomaccessfile fromfile = new Randomaccessfile ("FromFile.txt", "RW"); FileChannel      Fromchannel = Fromfile.getchannel (); Randomaccessfile tofile = new Randomaccessfile ("ToFile.txt", "RW"); FileChannel      Tochannel = Tofile.getchannel (); Long position = 0;long count = Fromchannel.size (); Fromchannel.transferto (position, count, Tochannel);

Did you find this example particularly similar to the previous example? Except that the FileChannel object that invokes the method is different, the others are the same.
The above-mentioned question about Socketchannel also exists in the Transferto () method. The Socketchannel will transmit the data until the target buffer is filled.
