     * where <i>r</i> is the number of bytes remaining in the buffer, that is,
     * <tt>src.remaining()</tt>, at the moment this method is invoked.
     *
     * <p> Suppose that a byte sequence of length <i>n</i> is written, where
     * <tt>0</tt>&nbsp;<tt>&lt;=</tt>&nbsp;<i>n</i>&nbsp;<tt>&lt;=</tt>&nbsp;<i>r</i>.
     * This byte sequence will be transferred from the buffer starting at index
     * <i>p</i>, where <i>p</i> is the buffer's position at the moment this
     * method is invoked; the index of the last byte written will be
     * <i>p</i>&nbsp;<tt>+</tt>&nbsp;<i>n</i>&nbsp;<tt>-</tt>&nbsp;<tt>1</tt>.
     * Upon return the buffer's position will be equal to
     * <i>p</i>&nbsp;<tt>+</tt>&nbsp;<i>n</i>; its limit will not have changed.
     *
     * <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>
