Method Detail

dataAvailable

public abstract boolean dataAvailable()

This method should only be called by the System class, not from other classes. It is used for implementing select on the JVM, and not used on the PalVM.

After a call to System's select or selectNow with this Channel (on the JVM), this method returns true if data is available, false otherwise. If no call to select or selectNow has been made, the result is undefined.
