public interface ByteReceiver extends ByteDestination, Receivable
The ByteReceiver is used to receive bytes in a unified way. The ByteDestination.receiveByte() method provides the next available datagram from the counterpart DatagramTransmitter; in case there is none available, then this method halts until one is available or the ByteReceiver is being shut down or the underlying connection is closed. The Availability.available() method returns true in case a next datagram can be fetched via the ByteDestination.receiveByte() method from the ByteReceiver counterpart.
