    /*
     * A byte buffer.
     *
     * <p> This class defines six categories of operations upon
     * byte buffers:
     *
     * <ul>
     *
     *   <li><p> Absolute and relative {@link #get() </code><i>get</i><code>} and
     *   {@link #put(byte) </code><i>put</i><code>} methods that read and write
     *   single bytes; </p></li>
     *
     *   <li><p> Relative {@link #get(byte[]) </code><i>bulk get</i><code>}
     *   methods that transfer contiguous sequences of bytes from this buffer
     *   into an array; </p></li>
     *
     *   <li><p> Relative {@link #put(byte[]) </code><i>bulk put</i><code>}
     *   methods that transfer contiguous sequences of bytes from a
     *   byte array or some other byte
     *   buffer into this buffer; </p></li>
     *
     *
     *   <li><p> Absolute and relative {@link #getChar() </code><i>get</i><code>}
     *   and {@link #putChar(char) </code><i>put</i><code>} methods that read and
     *   write values of other primitive types, translating them to and from
     *   sequences of bytes in a particular byte order; </p></li>
     *
     *   <li><p> Methods for creating <i><a href="#views">view buffers</a></i>,
     *   which allow a byte buffer to be viewed as a buffer containing values of
     *   some other primitive type; and </p></li>
     *
     *
     *   <li><p> Methods for {@link #compact </code>compacting<code>}, {@link
     *   #duplicate </code>duplicating<code>}, and {@link #slice
     *   </code>slicing<code>} a byte buffer.  </p></li>
     *
     * </ul>
     *
     * <p> Byte buffers can be created either by {@link #allocate
     * </code><i>allocation</i><code>}, which allocates space for the buffer's
     *
     *
     * content, or by {@link #wrap(byte[]) </code><i>wrapping</i><code>} an
     * existing byte array  into a buffer.
     *
     *
     *
     * <a name="direct">
     * <h4> Direct <i>vs.</i> non-direct buffers </h4>
     *
     * <p> A byte buffer is either <i>direct</i> or <i>non-direct</i>.  Given a
     * direct byte buffer, the Java virtual machine will make a best effort to
     * perform native I/O operations directly upon it.  That is, it will attempt to
     * avoid copying the buffer's content to (or from) an intermediate buffer
     * before (or after) each invocation of one of the underlying operating
     * system's native I/O operations.
     *
     * <p> A direct byte buffer may be created by invoking the {@link
     * #allocateDirect(int) allocateDirect} factory method of this class.  The
     * buffers returned by this method typically have somewhat higher allocation
     * and deallocation costs than non-direct buffers.  The contents of direct
     * buffers may reside outside of the normal garbage-collected heap, and so
     * their impact upon the memory footprint of an application might not be
     * obvious.  It is therefore recommended that direct buffers be allocated
     * primarily for large, long-lived buffers that are subject to the underlying
     * system's native I/O operations.  In general it is best to allocate direct
     * buffers only when they yield a measureable gain in program performance.
     *
     * <p> A direct byte buffer may also be created by {@link
     * java.nio.channels.FileChannel#map </code>mapping<code>} a region of a file
     * directly into memory.  An implementation of the Java platform may optionally
     * support the creation of direct byte buffers from native code via JNI.  If an
     * instance of one of these kinds of buffers refers to an inaccessible region
     * of memory then an attempt to access that region 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.
     *
     * <p> Whether a byte buffer is direct or non-direct may be determined by
     * invoking its {@link #isDirect isDirect} method.  This method is provided so
     * that explicit buffer management can be done in performance-critical code.
     *
     *
     * <a name="bin">
     * <h4> Access to binary data </h4>
     *
     * <p> This class defines methods for reading and writing values of all other
     * primitive types, except <tt>boolean</tt>.  Primitive values are translated
     * to (or from) sequences of bytes according to the buffer's current byte
     * order, which may be retrieved and modified via the {@link #order order}
     * methods.  Specific byte orders are represented by instances of the {@link
     * ByteOrder} class.  The initial order of a byte buffer is always {@link
     * ByteOrder#BIG_ENDIAN BIG_ENDIAN}.
     *
     * <p> For access to heterogeneous binary data, that is, sequences of values of
     * different types, this class defines a family of absolute and relative
     * <i>get</i> and <i>put</i> methods for each type.  For 32-bit floating-point
     * values, for example, this class defines:
     *
     * <blockquote><pre>
     * float  {@link #getFloat()}
     * float  {@link #getFloat(int) getFloat(int index)}
     *  void  {@link #putFloat(float) putFloat(float f)}
     *  void  {@link #putFloat(int,float) putFloat(int index, float f)}</pre></blockquote>
     *
     * <p> Corresponding methods are defined for the types <tt>char</tt>,
     * <tt>short</tt>, <tt>int</tt>, <tt>long</tt>, and <tt>double</tt>.  The index
     * parameters of the absolute <i>get</i> and <i>put</i> methods are in terms of
     * bytes rather than of the type being read or written.
     *
     * <a name="views">
     *
     * <p> For access to homogeneous binary data, that is, sequences of values of
     * the same type, this class defines methods that can create <i>views</i> of a
     * given byte buffer.  A <i>view buffer</i> is simply another buffer whose
     * content is backed by the byte buffer.  Changes to the byte buffer's content
     * will be visible in the view buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers'
     * position, limit, and mark values are independent.  The {@link
     * #asFloatBuffer() asFloatBuffer} method, for example, creates an instance of
     * the {@link FloatBuffer} class that is backed by the byte buffer upon which
     * the method is invoked.  Corresponding view-creation methods are defined for
     * the types <tt>char</tt>, <tt>short</tt>, <tt>int</tt>, <tt>long</tt>, and
     * <tt>double</tt>.
     *
     * <p> View buffers have three important advantages over the families of
     * type-specific <i>get</i> and <i>put</i> methods described above:
     *
     * <ul>
     *
     *   <li><p> A view buffer is indexed not in terms of bytes but rather in terms
     *   of the type-specific size of its values;  </p></li>
     *
     *   <li><p> A view buffer provides relative bulk <i>get</i> and <i>put</i>
     *   methods that can transfer contiguous sequences of values between a buffer
     *   and an array or some other buffer of the same type; and  </p></li>
     *
     *   <li><p> A view buffer is potentially much more efficient because it will
     *   be direct if, and only if, its backing byte buffer is direct.  </p></li>
     *
     * </ul>
     *
     * <p> The byte order of a view buffer is fixed to be that of its byte buffer
     * at the time that the view is created.  </p>
     *
     *
     * <h4> Invocation chaining </h4>
     *
     * <p> 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.
     *
     *
     * The sequence of statements
     *
     * <blockquote><pre>
     * bb.putInt(0xCAFEBABE);
     * bb.putShort(3);
     * bb.putShort(45);</pre></blockquote>
     *
     * can, for example, be replaced by the single statement
     *
     * <blockquote><pre>
     * bb.putInt(0xCAFEBABE).putShort(3).putShort(45);</pre></blockquote>
