The wendover package provides extra classes for working with Java NIO channels.

• Numerous Channel classes and adapters with various properties.
• High coverage test suite.
• OSGi-ready.
• JPMS-ready.
• ISC license.

Use CloseShieldSeekableByteChannel in order to prevent external code from closing an arbitrary SeekableByteChannel instance:

SeekableByteChannel c;

someUntrustedObject.run(new CloseShieldSeekableByteChannel(c));

The CloseShieldSeekableByteChannel instance can be closed, but will not result in the underlying channel really being closed.

Use ReadOnlySeekableByteChannel to protect an arbitrary SeekableByteChannel instance against writes:

SeekableByteChannel c;

someUntrustedObject.run(new ReadOnlySeekableByteChannel(c));

Attempts to write to the ReadOnlySeekableByteChannel will result in NonWritableChannelException being thrown.

Use SubrangeSeekableByteChannel to restrict reads and writes to an arbitrary SeekableByteChannel instance to a particular range:

SeekableByteChannel c;

someObject.run(new SubrangeSeekableByteChannel(c, 100L, 1000L));

Reads of the SubrangeSeekableByteChannel instance will be limited to only reading data that falls within offsets [100, 100 + 1000 - 1]. Reading at position 0 of the SubrangeSeekableByteChannel instance will actually read from position 100 of c. Writes are similarly translated and limited.

Use UpperRangeTrackingSeekableByteChannel to track the uppermost point written by an arbitrary SeekableByteChannel instance:

SeekableByteChannel c;

var d = new UpperRangeTrackingSeekableByteChannel(c);

someObject.run(d);

System.out.println(d.uppermostWritten());

Use the ByteBufferChannels class to adapt a ByteBuffer into a SeekableByteChannel:

ByteBuffer data;

SeekableByteChannel c = ByteBufferChannels.ofByteBuffer(data);

Use the DelegatingSeekableByteChannel class to delegate operations to an existing channel. This class is used to implement most of the wendover package.
