public abstract long write (ByteBuffer[] srcs, int offset, int length) throws IOException

Writes a sequence of bytes to this channel from a subsequence of the given buffers.

An attempt is made to write up to r bytes to this channel, where r is the total number of bytes remaining in the specified subsequence of the given buffer array, that is,

 srcs[offset].remaining()
     + srcs[offset+1].remaining()
     + ... + srcs[offset+length-1].remaining()
at the moment that this method is invoked.

Suppose that a byte sequence of length n is written, where 0 <= n <= r. Up to the first srcs[offset].remaining() bytes of this sequence are written from buffer srcs[offset], up to the next srcs[offset+1].remaining() bytes are written from buffer srcs[offset+1], and so forth, until the entire byte sequence is written. As many bytes as possible are written from each buffer, hence the final position of each updated buffer, except the last updated buffer, is guaranteed to be equal to that buffer's limit.

Unless otherwise specified, a write operation will return only after writing all of the r requested bytes. Some types of channels, depending upon their state, may write only some of the bytes or possibly none at all. A socket channel in non-blocking mode, for example, cannot write any more bytes than are free in the socket's output buffer.

This method may be invoked at any time. If another thread has already initiated a write operation upon this channel, however, then an invocation of this method will block until the first operation is complete.

Parameters:
srcs     The buffers from which bytes are to be retrieved
offset     The offset within the buffer array of the first buffer from which bytes are to be retrieved; must be non-negative and no larger than srcs.length
length     The maximum number of buffers to be accessed; must be non-negative and no larger than srcs.length - offset

Returns:  The number of bytes written, possibly zero

Exceptions:
IndexOutOfBoundsException     If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold
NonWritableChannelException     If this channel was not opened for writing
ClosedChannelException     If this channel is closed
AsynchronousCloseException     If another thread closes this channel while the write operation is in progress
ClosedByInterruptException     If another thread interrupts the current thread while the write operation is in progress, thereby closing the channel and setting the current thread's interrupt status
IOException     If some other I/O error occurs
