A channel that can read bytes.
Only one read operation upon a readable channel may be in progress at
any given time. If one thread initiates a read operation upon a channel
then any other thread that attempts to initiate another read operation will
block until the first operation is complete. Whether or not other kinds of
I/O operations may proceed concurrently with a read operation depends upon
the type of the channel.

public interface ReadableByteChannel extends Channel {
Reads a sequence of bytes from this channel into the given buffer.
An attempt is made to read up to r bytes from the channel,
where r is the number of bytes remaining in the buffer, that is, dst.remaining(), at the moment this method is invoked.
Suppose that a byte sequence of length n is read, where 0 <= n <= r.
This byte sequence will be transferred into the buffer so that the first
byte in the sequence is at index p and the last byte is at index
p + n - 1, where p is the buffer's position at the moment this method is
invoked. Upon return the buffer's position will be equal to
p + n; its limit will not have changed.
A read operation might not fill the buffer, and in fact it might not
read any bytes at all. Whether or not it does so depends upon the
nature and state of the channel. A socket channel in non-blocking mode,
for example, cannot read any more bytes than are immediately available
from the socket's input buffer; similarly, a file channel cannot read
any more bytes than remain in the file. It is guaranteed, however, that
if a channel is in blocking mode and there is at least one byte
remaining in the buffer then this method will block until at least one
byte is read.
This method may be invoked at any time. If another thread has
already initiated a read operation upon this channel, however, then an
invocation of this method will block until the first operation is
complete.
Params: - dst –
The buffer into which bytes are to be transferred
Throws: - NonReadableChannelException –
If this channel was not opened for reading
- ClosedChannelException –
If this channel is closed
- AsynchronousCloseException –
If another thread closes this channel
while the read operation is in progress
- ClosedByInterruptException –
If another thread interrupts the current thread
while the read operation is in progress, thereby
closing the channel and setting the current thread's
interrupt status
- IOException –
If some other I/O error occurs
Returns: The number of bytes read, possibly zero, or -1 if the channel has reached end-of-stream
