Remarks

Interrupts this thread.

Unless the current thread is interrupting itself, which is always permitted, the #checkAccess() checkAccess method of this thread is invoked, which may cause a SecurityException to be thrown.

If this thread is blocked in an invocation of the Object#wait() wait(), Object#wait(long) wait(long), or Object#wait(long, int) wait(long, int) methods of the Object class, or of the #join(), #join(long), #join(long, int), #sleep(long), or #sleep(long, int), methods of this class, then its interrupt status will be cleared and it will receive an InterruptedException.

If this thread is blocked in an I/O operation upon an java.nio.channels.InterruptibleChannel InterruptibleChannel then the channel will be closed, the thread's interrupt status will be set, and the thread will receive a java.nio.channels.ClosedByInterruptException.

If this thread is blocked in a java.nio.channels.Selector then the thread's interrupt status will be set and it will return immediately from the selection operation, possibly with a non-zero value, just as if the selector's java.nio.channels.Selector#wakeup wakeup method were invoked.

If none of the previous conditions hold then this thread's interrupt status will be set.

Interrupting a thread that is not alive need not have any effect.
