All Known Implementing Classes:

SelectableImpl
```
public interface Selectable
extends ReactorChild, Extendable
```
An entity that can be multiplexed using a Selector.
Every selectable is associated with exactly one SelectableChannel. Selectables may be interested in three kinds of events: read events, write events, and timer events. A selectable will express its interest in these events through the isReading(), isWriting(), and getDeadline() methods.
When a read, write, or timer event occurs, the selectable must be notified by calling readable(), writeable(), or expired() as appropriate. Once a selectable reaches a terminal state (see isTerminal(), it will never be interested in events of any kind. When this occurs it should be removed from the Selector and discarded using free().

- Method Detail
  - isReading
```
boolean isReading()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if the selectable is interested in receiving notification (via the readable() method that indicate that the associated SelectableChannel has data ready to be read from it.
  - isWriting
```
boolean isWriting()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if the selectable is interested in receiving notifications (via the writeable() method that indicate that the associated SelectableChannel is ready to be written to.
  - getDeadline
```
long getDeadline()
```
    Returns:
    
    a deadline after which this selectable can expect to receive a notification (via the expired() method that indicates that the deadline has past. The deadline is expressed in the same format as System.currentTimeMillis(). Returning a deadline of zero (or a negative number) indicates that the selectable does not wish to be notified of expiry.
  - setReading
```
void setReading(boolean reading)
```
    Sets the value that will be returned by isReading().
    
    Parameters:
    
    reading -
