Mapped byte buffers are created via the {@link * java.nio.channels.FileChannel#map FileChannel.map} method. This class * extends the {@link ByteBuffer} class with operations that are specific to * memory-mapped file regions. * *

A mapped byte buffer and the file mapping that it represents remain * valid until the buffer itself is garbage-collected. * *

The content of a mapped byte buffer can change at any time, for example * if the content of the corresponding region of the mapped file is changed by * this program or another. Whether or not such changes occur, and when they * occur, is operating-system dependent and therefore unspecified. * *

All or part of a mapped byte buffer may become * inaccessible at any time, for example if the mapped file is truncated. An * attempt to access an inaccessible region of a mapped byte buffer will not * change the buffer's content and will cause an unspecified exception to be * thrown either at the time of the access or at some later time. It is * therefore strongly recommended that appropriate precautions be taken to * avoid the manipulation of a mapped file by this program, or by a * concurrently running program, except to read or write the file's content. * *

Mapped byte buffers otherwise behave no differently than ordinary direct * byte buffers.
