public interface XnioProvider

A descriptor for automatically-discovered XNIO provider type. Since instances of this interface are constructed automatically, implementing classes should have a no-arg constructor.

To add an automatically-discovered XNIO provider type, create a file called "META-INF/services/org.jboss.xnio.XnioProvider" and populate it with the names of classes that implement this interface.
