Simple utility method to execute a blocking accept on an accepting channel, with a timeout. This method blocks until an accept is possible, and then returns the accepted connection.

Type Parameters:

C - the connection channel type

A - the accepting channel type

Parameters:

channel - the accepting channel

time - the amount of time to wait

unit - the unit of time to wait

Returns:

the accepted channel, or null if the timeout occurred before a connection was accepted

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs
