  98  * <h2> Direct <i>vs.</i> non-direct buffers </h2>
  99  *
 100  * <p> A byte buffer is either <i>direct</i> or <i>non-direct</i>.  Given a
 101  * direct byte buffer, the Java virtual machine will make a best effort to
 102  * perform native I/O operations directly upon it.  That is, it will attempt to
 103  * avoid copying the buffer's content to (or from) an intermediate buffer
 104  * before (or after) each invocation of one of the underlying operating
 105  * system's native I/O operations.
 106  *
 107  * <p> A direct byte buffer may be created by invoking the {@link
 108  * #allocateDirect(int) allocateDirect} factory method of this class.  The
 109  * buffers returned by this method typically have somewhat higher allocation
 110  * and deallocation costs than non-direct buffers.  The contents of direct
 111  * buffers may reside outside of the normal garbage-collected heap, and so
 112  * their impact upon the memory footprint of an application might not be
 113  * obvious.  It is therefore recommended that direct buffers be allocated
 114  * primarily for large, long-lived buffers that are subject to the underlying
 115  * system's native I/O operations.  In general it is best to allocate direct
 116  * buffers only when they yield a measureable gain in program performance.
 117  *
 118  * <p> A direct byte buffer may also be created by {@link
 119  * java.nio.channels.FileChannel#map mapping} a region of a file
 120  * directly into memory.  An implementation of the Java platform may optionally
 121  * support the creation of direct byte buffers from native code via JNI.  If an
 122  * instance of one of these kinds of buffers refers to an inaccessible region
 123  * of memory then an attempt to access that region will not change the buffer's
 124  * content and will cause an unspecified exception to be thrown either at the
 125  * time of the access or at some later time.
 126  *
 127  * <p> Whether a byte buffer is direct or non-direct may be determined by
 128  * invoking its {@link #isDirect isDirect} method.  This method is provided so
 129  * that explicit buffer management can be done in performance-critical code.
 130  *
 131  *
 132  * <a name="bin"></a>
 133  * <h2> Access to binary data </h2>
 134  *
 135  * <p> This class defines methods for reading and writing values of all other
 136  * primitive types, except <tt>boolean</tt>.  Primitive values are translated
 137  * to (or from) sequences of bytes according to the buffer's current byte
 138  * order, which may be retrieved and modified via the {@link #order order}
 139  * methods.  Specific byte orders are represented by instances of the {@link
 140  * ByteOrder} class.  The initial order of a byte buffer is always {@link
 141  * ByteOrder#BIG_ENDIAN BIG_ENDIAN}.
 142  *
 143  * <p> For access to heterogeneous binary data, that is, sequences of values of
 144  * different types, this class defines a family of absolute and relative
 145  * <i>get</i> and <i>put</i> methods for each type.  For 32-bit floating-point
 146  * values, for example, this class defines:
 147  *
 148  * <blockquote><pre>
 149  * float  {@link #getFloat()}
 150  * float  {@link #getFloat(int) getFloat(int index)}
 151  *  void  {@link #putFloat(float) putFloat(float f)}
 152  *  void  {@link #putFloat(int,float) putFloat(int index, float f)}</pre></blockquote>
 153  *
 154  * <p> Corresponding methods are defined for the types <tt>char</tt>,
 155  * <tt>short</tt>, <tt>int</tt>, <tt>long</tt>, and <tt>double</tt>.  The index
 156  * parameters of the absolute <i>get</i> and <i>put</i> methods are in terms of
 157  * bytes rather than of the type being read or written.
 158  *
 159  * <a name="views"></a>
 160  *
 161  * <p> For access to homogeneous binary data, that is, sequences of values of
 162  * the same type, this class defines methods that can create <i>views</i> of a
 163  * given byte buffer.  A <i>view buffer</i> is simply another buffer whose
 164  * content is backed by the byte buffer.  Changes to the byte buffer's content
 165  * will be visible in the view buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers'
 166  * position, limit, and mark values are independent.  The {@link
 167  * #asFloatBuffer() asFloatBuffer} method, for example, creates an instance of
 168  * the {@link FloatBuffer} class that is backed by the byte buffer upon which
 169  * the method is invoked.  Corresponding view-creation methods are defined for
 170  * the types <tt>char</tt>, <tt>short</tt>, <tt>int</tt>, <tt>long</tt>, and
 171  * <tt>double</tt>.
 172  *
 173  * <p> View buffers have three important advantages over the families of
 174  * type-specific <i>get</i> and <i>put</i> methods described above:
 175  *
 176  * <ul>
 177  *
 178  *   <li><p> A view buffer is indexed not in terms of bytes but rather in terms
 179  *   of the type-specific size of its values;  </p></li>
 180  *
 181  *   <li><p> A view buffer provides relative bulk <i>get</i> and <i>put</i>
 182  *   methods that can transfer contiguous sequences of values between a buffer
 183  *   and an array or some other buffer of the same type; and  </p></li>
 184  *
 185  *   <li><p> A view buffer is potentially much more efficient because it will
 186  *   be direct if, and only if, its backing byte buffer is direct.  </p></li>
 187  *
 188  * </ul>
 189  *
 190  * <p> The byte order of a view buffer is fixed to be that of its byte buffer
 191  * at the time that the view is created.  </p>
 192  *
 193 #end[byte]
 194 *
 195 #if[!byte]
 196  *
 197  * <p> Like a byte buffer, $a$ $type$ buffer is either <a
 198  * href="ByteBuffer.html#direct"><i>direct</i> or <i>non-direct</i></a>.  A
 199  * $type$ buffer created via the <tt>wrap</tt> methods of this class will
 200  * be non-direct.  $A$ $type$ buffer created as a view of a byte buffer will
 201  * be direct if, and only if, the byte buffer itself is direct.  Whether or not
 202  * $a$ $type$ buffer is direct may be determined by invoking the {@link
 203  * #isDirect isDirect} method.  </p>
 204  *
 205 #end[!byte]
 206 *
 207 #if[char]
 208  *
 209  * <p> This class implements the {@link CharSequence} interface so that
 210  * character buffers may be used wherever character sequences are accepted, for
 211  * example in the regular-expression package <tt>{@link java.util.regex}</tt>.
 212  * </p>
 213  *
 214 #end[char]
 215  *
 216 #if[byte]
 217  * <h2> Invocation chaining </h2>
 218 #end[byte]
 219  *
 220  * <p> Methods in this class that do not otherwise have a value to return are
 221  * specified to return the buffer upon which they are invoked.  This allows
 222  * method invocations to be chained.
 223  *
 224 #if[byte]
 225  *
 226  * The sequence of statements
 227  *
 228  * <blockquote><pre>
 229  * bb.putInt(0xCAFEBABE);
 230  * bb.putShort(3);
 231  * bb.putShort(45);</pre></blockquote>
 232  *
 233  * can, for example, be replaced by the single statement
 234  *
 235  * <blockquote><pre>
 236  * bb.putInt(0xCAFEBABE).putShort(3).putShort(45);</pre></blockquote>
 237  *
 238 #end[byte]
 239 #if[char]
 240  *
 241  * The sequence of statements
 242  *
 243  * <blockquote><pre>
 244  * cb.put("text/");
 245  * cb.put(subtype);
 246  * cb.put("; charset=");
 247  * cb.put(enc);</pre></blockquote>
 248  *
 249  * can, for example, be replaced by the single statement
 250  *
 251  * <blockquote><pre>
 252  * cb.put("text/").put(subtype).put("; charset=").put(enc);</pre></blockquote>
