## java.security.cert
Interface CRLSelector

All Superinterfaces:
  Cloneable

All Known Implementing Classes:
  X509CRLSelector

public interface CRLSelector
extends Cloneable

A selector that defines a set of criteria for selecting `CRL`s. Classes that implement this interface are often used to specify which `CRL`s should be retrieved from a `CertStore`.

Concurrent Access

Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this interface are not thread-safe. Multiple threads that need to access a single object concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating separate objects need not synchronize.

Since:
  1.4
See Also:
  `CRL`, `CertStore`, `CertStore.getCRLs(java.security.cert.CRLSelector)`

Method Summary
`Object` | `clone()` Makes a copy of this `CRLSelector`.
`boolean` | `match(CRL crl)` Decides whether a `CRL` should be selected.

Method Detail

### match

    public boolean match(CRL crl)

  Decides whether a `CRL` should be selected.

  Parameters:
    `crl` - the `CRL` to be checked
  Returns:
    `true` if the `CRL` should be selected, `false` otherwise

### clone

    public Object clone()

  Makes a copy of this `CRLSelector`. Changes to the copy will not affect the original and vice versa.

  Returns:
    a copy of this `CRLSelector`
