// Signalling operations on native threads
//
// On some operating systems (e.g., Linux), closing a channel while another
// thread is blocked in an I/O operation upon that channel does not cause that
// thread to be released. This class provides access to the native threads
// upon which Java threads are built, and defines a simple signal mechanism
// that can be used to release a native thread from a blocking I/O operation.
// On systems that do not require this type of signalling, the current() method
// always returns -1 and the signal(long) method has no effect.
class NativeThread {
// Returns an opaque token representing the native thread underlying the
// invoking Java thread. On systems that do not require signalling, this
// method always returns -1.
//
static native long current();
// Signals the given native thread so as to release it from a blocking I/O
// operation. On systems that do not require signalling, this method has
// no effect.
