Method Detail
-
isComposite
boolean isComposite()
-
prepend
Buffer prepend(Buffer header)
Prepend data from header.position() to header.limit() to the current buffer. This will change the value returned by buffer()!- Parameters:
header- the data to prepend- Returns:
- the new buffer
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if header.limit() - header.position() is greater than headerSize.
-
trim
void trim()
Trim the buffer by reducing capacity to position, if possible. May return without changing capacity. Also resets the position to 0, likeflip().
-
shrink
void shrink()
Disposes the buffer part, outside [position, limit] interval if possible. May return without changing capacity. After shrink is called, position/limit/capacity values may have different values, than before, but still point to the same Buffer elements.
-
split
Buffer split(int splitPosition)
Split up the buffer into two parts: [0..splitPosition) and [splitPosition, capacity). This Buffer will represent the first part: [0..splitPosition) and returned Buffer will represent the second part: [splitPosition, capacity). Splitting a buffer will reset the mark if the mark is greater than or equal to thesplitPosition.- Parameters:
splitPosition- position of split.- Returns:
- the Buffer, which represents split part [splitPosition, capacity)

-
limit
int limit()

- This buffer
- Throws:
InvalidMarkException- If the mark has not been set
-
clear
Buffer clear()
Clears this buffer. The position is set to zero, the limit is set to the capacity, and the mark is discarded.Invoke this method before using a sequence of channel-read or put operations to fill this buffer. For example:
buf.clear(); // Prepare buffer for reading in.read(buf); // Read data
This method does not actually erase the data in the buffer, but it is named as if it did because it will most often be used in situations in which that might as well be the case.
- Returns:
- This buffer
-
flip
Buffer flip()
Flips this buffer. The limit is set to the current position and then the position is set to zero. If the mark is defined then it is discarded.After a sequence of channel-read or put operations, invoke this method to prepare for a sequence of channel-write or relative get operations. For example:
buf.put(magic); // Prepend header in.read(buf); // Read data into rest of buffer buf.flip(); // Flip buffer out.write(buf); // Write header + data to channel
This method is often used in conjunction with the
compactmethod when transferring data from one place to another.- Returns:
- This buffer
-
rewind
Buffer rewind()
Rewinds this buffer. The position is set to zero and the mark is discarded.Invoke this method before a sequence of channel-write or get operations, assuming that the limit has already been set appropriately. For example:
out.write(buf); // Write remaining data buf.rewind(); // Rewind buffer buf.get(array); // Copy data into array

- true if, and only if, this buffer is read-only
-
slice
Buffer slice()
Creates a newBufferwhose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content.The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer's current position. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of bytes remaining in this buffer, and its mark will be undefined. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.
- Returns:
- The new
Buffer
-
slice
Buffer slice(int position, int limit)
Creates a newBufferwhose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content.The content of the new buffer will start at passed position and end at passed limit. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffer's position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of bytes remaining in this buffer, and its mark will be undefined. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.
- Parameters:
position- the position of the start of the slicelimit- the limit to take the slice up to- Returns:
- The new
Buffer
-
duplicate

Creates a newBufferthat shares this buffer's content.The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffer's position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's capacity, limit, position, and mark values will be identical to those of this buffer. The new buffer will be direct if, and only if, this buffer is direct, and it will be read-only if, and only if, this buffer is read-only.
- Returns:
- The new
Buffer
-
asReadOnlyBuffer
Buffer asReadOnlyBuffer()
Creates a new, read-onlyBufferthat shares this buffer's content.The content of the new buffer will be that of this buffer. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer; the new buffer itself, however, will be read-only and will not allow the shared content to be modified. The two buffer's position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
The new buffer's capacity, limit, position, and mark values will be identical to those of this buffer.
If this buffer is itself read-only then this method behaves in exactly the same way as the
duplicatemethod.- Returns:
- The new, read-only
Buffer
-

get
Buffer get(byte[] dst)
Relative bulk get method.This method transfers bytes from this buffer into the given destination array. An invocation of this method of the form src.get(a) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

compact
Buffer compact()
Compacts this buffer (optional operation).The bytes between the buffer's current position and its limit, if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the byte at index p = position() is copied to index zero, the byte at index p + 1 is copied to index one, and so forth until the byte at index limit() - 1 is copied to index n = limit() - 1 - p. The buffer's position is then set to n+1 and its limit is set to its capacity. The mark, if defined, is discarded.
The buffer's position is set to the number of bytes copied, rather than to zero, so that an invocation of this method can be followed immediately by an invocation of another relative put method.
Invoke this method after writing data from a buffer in case the write was incomplete. The following loop, for example, copies bytes from one channel to another via the buffer buf:
buf.clear(); // Prepare buffer for use for (;;) { if (in.read(buf) < 0 && !buf.hasRemaining()) break; // No more bytes to transfer buf.flip(); out.write(buf); buf.compact(); // In case of partial write }- Returns:
