* The result of an asynchronous {@link Channel} I/O operation. Methods are
* provided to check if the I/O operation is complete, to wait for its

* The result of an asynchronous {@link Channel} I/O operation.
* <p>
* All I/O operations in Netty are asynchronous. It means any I/O calls will
* return immediately with no guarantee that the requested I/O operation has
* been completed at the end of the call. Instead, you will be returned with
* a {@link ChannelFuture} instance which tells you when the requested I/O
* operation has succeeded, failed, or canceled.
* <p>
* Various methods are provided to let you check if the I/O operation has been
* completed, wait for the completion, and retrieve the result of the I/O
* operation. It also allows you to add more than one {@link ChannelFutureListener}
* so you can get notified when the I/O operation has been completed.
