/**
 * A grouping of asynchronous channels for the purpose of resource sharing.
 *
 * <p> An asynchronous channel group encapsulates the mechanics required to
 * handle the completion of I/O operations initiated by {@link AsynchronousChannel
 * asynchronous channels} that are bound to the group. A group has an associated
 * thread pool to which tasks are submitted to handle I/O events and dispatch to
 * {@link CompletionHandler completion-handlers} that consume the result of
 * asynchronous operations performed on channels in the group. In addition to
 * handling I/O events, the pooled threads may also execute other tasks required
 * to support the execution of asynchronous I/O operations.
 *
 * <p> An asynchronous channel group is created by invoking the {@link
 * #withFixedThreadPool withFixedThreadPool} or {@link #withCachedThreadPool
 * withCachedThreadPool} methods defined here. Channels are bound to a group by
 * specifying the group when constructing the channel. The associated thread
 * pool is <em>owned</em> by the group; termination of the group results in the
 * shutdown of the associated thread pool.
 *
 * <p> In addition to groups created explicitly, the Java virtual machine
 * maintains a system-wide <em>default group</em> that is constructed
 * automatically. Asynchronous channels that do not specify a group at
 * construction time are bound to the default group. The default group has an
 * associated thread pool that creates new threads as needed. The default group
 * may be configured by means of system properties defined in the table below.
 * Where the {@link java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory ThreadFactory} for the
 * default group is not configured then the pooled threads of the default group
 * are {@link Thread#isDaemon daemon} threads.
 *

 *     class. The class is loaded using the system class loader and instantiated.
 *     The factory's {@link java.util.concurrent.ThreadFactory#newThread
 *     newThread} method is invoked to create each thread for the default
 *     group's thread pool. If the process to load and instantiate the value
 *     of the property fails then an unspecified error is thrown during the

 *     The value of the property is taken to be the {@code String}
 *     representation of an {@code Integer} that is the initial size parameter.
 *     If the value cannot be parsed as an {@code Integer} it causes an

 *
 * <a id="threading"></a><h2>Threading</h2>
 *
 * <p> The completion handler for an I/O operation initiated on a channel bound
 * to a group is guaranteed to be invoked by one of the pooled threads in the
 * group. This ensures that the completion handler is run by a thread with the
 * expected <em>identity</em>.
 *
 * <p> Where an I/O operation completes immediately, and the initiating thread
 * is one of the pooled threads in the group then the completion handler may
 * be invoked directly by the initiating thread. To avoid stack overflow, an
 * implementation may impose a limit as to the number of activations on the
 * thread stack. Some I/O operations may prohibit invoking the completion
 * handler directly by the initiating thread (see {@link
 * AsynchronousServerSocketChannel#accept(Object,CompletionHandler) accept}).
 *
 * <a id="shutdown"></a><h2>Shutdown and Termination</h2>
 *
 * <p> The {@link #shutdown() shutdown} method is used to initiate an <em>orderly
 * shutdown</em> of a group. An orderly shutdown marks the group as shutdown;
 * further attempts to construct a channel that binds to the group will throw
 * {@link ShutdownChannelGroupException}. Whether or not a group is shutdown can
 * be tested using the {@link #isShutdown() isShutdown} method. Once shutdown,
 * the group <em>terminates</em> when all asynchronous channels that are bound to
 * the group are closed, all actively executing completion handlers have run to
 * completion, and resources used by the group are released. No attempt is made
 * to stop or interrupt threads that are executing completion handlers. The
 * {@link #isTerminated() isTerminated} method is used to test if the group has
 * terminated, and the {@link #awaitTermination awaitTermination} method can be
 * used to block until the group has terminated.
 *
 * <p> The {@link #shutdownNow() shutdownNow} method can be used to initiate a
 * <em>forceful shutdown</em> of the group. In addition to the actions performed
 * by an orderly shutdown, the {@code shutdownNow} method closes all open channels
 * in the group as if by invoking the {@link AsynchronousChannel#close close}
 * method.
