A buffer is a linear, finite sequence of elements of a specific * primitive type. Aside from its content, the essential properties of a * buffer are its capacity, limit, and position:

* *
* *

A buffer's capacity is the number of elements it contains. The * capacity of a buffer is never negative and never changes.

* *

A buffer's limit is the index of the first element that should * not be read or written. A buffer's limit is never negative and is never * greater than its capacity.

* *

A buffer's position is the index of the next element to be * read or written. A buffer's position is never negative and is never * greater than its limit.

* *
* *

There is one subclass of this class for each non-boolean primitive type. * * *

Transferring data

* *

Each subclass of this class defines two categories of get and * put operations:

* *
* *

Relative operations read or write one or more elements starting * at the current position and then increment the position by the number of * elements transferred. If the requested transfer exceeds the limit then a * relative get operation throws a {@link BufferUnderflowException} * and a relative put operation throws a {@link * BufferOverflowException}; in either case, no data is transferred.

* *

Absolute operations take an explicit element index and do not * affect the position. Absolute get and put operations throw * an {@link IndexOutOfBoundsException} if the index argument exceeds the * limit.

* *
* *

Data may also, of course, be transferred in to or out of a buffer by the * I/O operations of an appropriate channel, which are always relative to the * current position. * * *

Marking and resetting

* *

A buffer's mark is the index to which its position will be reset * when the {@link #reset reset} method is invoked. The mark is not always * defined, but when it is defined it is never negative and is never greater * than the position. If the mark is defined then it is discarded when the * position or the limit is adjusted to a value smaller than the mark. If the * mark is not defined then invoking the {@link #reset reset} method causes an * {@link InvalidMarkException} to be thrown. * * *

Invariants

* *

The following invariant holds for the mark, position, limit, and * capacity values: * *

* 0 <= * mark <= * position <= * limit <= * capacity *
* *

A newly-created buffer always has a position of zero and a mark that is * undefined. The initial limit may be zero, or it may be some other value * that depends upon the type of the buffer and the manner in which it is * constructed. The initial content of a buffer is, in general, * undefined. * * *

Clearing, flipping, and rewinding

* *

In addition to methods for accessing the position, limit, and capacity * values and for marking and resetting, this class also defines the following * operations upon buffers: * *

* * *

Read-only buffers

* *

Every buffer is readable, but not every buffer is writable. The * mutation methods of each buffer class are specified as optional * operations that will throw a {@link ReadOnlyBufferException} when * invoked upon a read-only buffer. A read-only buffer does not allow its * content to be changed, but its mark, position, and limit values are mutable. * Whether or not a buffer is read-only may be determined by invoking its * {@link #isReadOnly isReadOnly} method. * * *

Thread safety

* *

Buffers are not safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. If a * buffer is to be used by more than one thread then access to the buffer * should be controlled by appropriate synchronization. * * *

Invocation chaining

* *

Methods in this class that do not otherwise have a value to return are * specified to return the buffer upon which they are invoked. This allows * method invocations to be chained; for example, the sequence of statements * *

 * b.flip();
 * b.position(23);
 * b.limit(42);
* * can be replaced by the single, more compact statement * *
 * b.flip().position(23).limit(42);
