Java : FileChannel with Examples
Published : October 3, 2023
FileChannel (Java SE 20 & JDK 20) API Examples.
You will find code examples on most FileChannel methods.
Annotation :
- Most examples run on Windows 10.
- Some examples for POSIX run on Linux.
Summary
A channel for reading, writing, mapping, and manipulating a file.
final var path = Path.of("R:", "java-work", "test.data");
System.out.println(path); // R:\java-work\test.data
try (final var channel = FileChannel.open(path,
StandardOpenOption.CREATE, StandardOpenOption.WRITE)) {
final var src = ByteBuffer.allocate(5)
.put((byte) 10)
.put((byte) 20)
.put((byte) 30)
.put((byte) 40)
.put((byte) 50)
.clear();
final var ret = channel.write(src);
System.out.println(ret); // 5
}
try (final var channel = FileChannel.open(path, StandardOpenOption.READ)) {
final var dst = ByteBuffer.allocate(5);
final var ret = channel.read(dst);
System.out.println(ret); // 5
if (dst.hasArray()) {
// [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(dst.array()));
}
}
Constructors
FileChannel ()
Initializes a new instance of this class.
protected. I think it's rare to create a subclass of this class. Therefore, the code example is omitted.
Methods
abstract void force (boolean metaData)
Forces any updates to this channel's file to be written to the storage device that contains it.
final var path = Path.of("R:", "java-work", "test.data");
System.out.println(path); // R:\java-work\test.data
System.out.println(Files.notExists(path)); // true
try (final var channel = FileChannel.open(path,
StandardOpenOption.CREATE, StandardOpenOption.WRITE)) {
final byte[] array = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
final var src = ByteBuffer.wrap(array);
// --- PowerShell ---
//PS R:\java-work> ls | Format-Table -Property Length, Name
//
//Length Name
//------ ----
// 0 test.data
System.out.println(channel.write(src)); // 5
System.out.println(channel.size()); // 5
// --- PowerShell ---

abstract FileLock tryLock (long position, long size, boolean shared)
Attempts to acquire a lock on the given region of this channel's file.
Please see :
- tryLock() for the basic behavior of this method.
- lock(long position, long size, boolean shared) for position, size and shared parameters.
