abstract member Cancel : unit -> unit
Attributes

Remarks

Requests that the registration of this key's channel with its selector be cancelled. Upon return the key will be invalid and will have been added to its selector's cancelled-key set. The key will be removed from all of the selector's key sets during the next selection operation.

If this key has already been cancelled then invoking this method has no effect. Once cancelled, a key remains forever invalid.

This method may be invoked at any time. It synchronizes on the selector's cancelled-key set, and therefore may block briefly if invoked concurrently with a cancellation or selection operation involving the same selector.
