  Initializes a new instance of this class.
 
Public methods
    cancel
    
public final void cancel ()
    
    
    
  Cancels this key.
 
 If this key has not yet been cancelled then it is added to its
 selector's cancelled-key set while synchronized on that set.  
 
    isValid
    
public final boolean isValid ()
    
    
    
  Tells whether or not this key is valid.
 
 A key is valid upon creation and remains so until it is cancelled,
 its channel is closed, or its selector is closed.
