260      *
261      * <p> On many operating systems a process, such as a Java virtual
262      * machine, can be started in a manner that allows the process to
263      * inherit a channel from the entity that created the process. The
264      * manner in which this is done is system dependent, as are the
265      * possible entities to which the channel may be connected. For example,
266      * on UNIX systems, the Internet services daemon (<i>inetd</i>) is used to
267      * start programs to service requests when a request arrives on an
268      * associated network port. In this example, the process that is started,
269      * inherits a channel representing a network socket.
270      *
271      * <p> In cases where the inherited channel represents a network socket
272      * then the {@link java.nio.channels.Channel Channel} type returned
273      * by this method is determined as follows:
274      *
275      * <ul>
276      *
277      *  <li><p> If the inherited channel represents a stream-oriented connected
278      *  socket then a {@link java.nio.channels.SocketChannel SocketChannel} is
279      *  returned. The socket channel is, at least initially, in blocking
280      *  mode, bound to a socket address, and connected to a peer.
281      *  </p></li>
282      *
283      *  <li><p> If the inherited channel represents a stream-oriented listening
284      *  socket then a {@link java.nio.channels.ServerSocketChannel
285      *  ServerSocketChannel} is returned. The server-socket channel is, at
286      *  least initially, in blocking mode, and bound to a socket address.
287      *  </p></li>
288      *
289      *  <li><p> If the inherited channel is a datagram-oriented socket
290      *  then a {@link java.nio.channels.DatagramChannel DatagramChannel} is
291      *  returned. The datagram channel is, at least initially, in blocking
292      *  mode, and bound to a socket address.
293      *  </p></li>
294      *
295      * </ul>
296      *
297      * <p> In addition to the network-oriented channels described, this method
298      * may return other kinds of channels in the future.

300      * <p> The first invocation of this method creates the channel that is
301      * returned. Subsequent invocations of this method return the same
