dst - the target FileChannel to transfer data into.

position - The position within the file at which the transfer is to begin; must be non-negative. Must be less than or equal to the size of the file

count - The maximum number of bytes to be transferred; must be non-negative

Returns:

The number of bytes, possibly zero, that were actually transferred

Throws:

IOException - if some I/O error occurs.
