/**
* A channel that can write bytes from a sequence of buffers.

* Gathering writes are often useful when implementing network protocols or
* file formats that, for example, group data into segments consisting of one
* or more fixed-length headers followed by a variable-length body. Similar

* Writes a sequence of bytes to this channel from a subsequence of the

*
* <p> An attempt is made to write up to <i>r</i> bytes to this channel,
* where <i>r</i> is the total number of bytes remaining in the specified
* subsequence of the given buffer array, that is,
*
* <blockquote><pre>
* srcs[offset].remaining()
* + srcs[offset+1].remaining()
* + ... + srcs[offset+length-1].remaining()</pre></blockquote>
*
* at the moment that this method is invoked.
*
* <p> Suppose that a byte sequence of length <i>n</i> is written, where
* <tt>0</tt> <tt><=</tt> <i>n</i> <tt><=</tt> <i>r</i>.
* Up to the first <tt>srcs[offset].remaining()</tt> bytes of this sequence
* are written from buffer <tt>srcs[offset]</tt>, up to the next
* <tt>srcs[offset+1].remaining()</tt> bytes are written from buffer
* <tt>srcs[offset+1]</tt>, 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.
*
* <p> Unless otherwise specified, a write operation will return only after
* writing all of the <i>r</i> 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.
*
* <p> 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. </p>

* @param offset
* The offset within the buffer array of the first buffer from
* which bytes are to be retrieved; must be non-negative and no

* @param length
* The maximum number of buffers to be accessed; must be
* non-negative and no larger than
* <tt>srcs.length</tt> - <tt>offset</tt>
