Method Details

cloneObject

SeekableReadableChannel<A> cloneObject()

Optional operation. Open a new channel to the underlying source at the same position as this channel. The returned channel is an independent entity and needs to be closed separatedly. Opening a channel this way may be faster than opening a new channel at the source because information about this channel may be re-used (e.g. held pages and pointers into internal data structures)
