- * <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>
- *
-#end[byte]
-*
-#if[!byte]
- *
- * <p> Like a byte buffer, $a$ $fulltype$ buffer is either <a
- * href="ByteBuffer.html#direct"><i>direct</i> or <i>non-direct</i></a>.  A
- * $fulltype$ buffer created via the <tt>wrap</tt> methods of this class will
- * be non-direct.  $A$ $fulltype$ buffer created as a view of a byte buffer will
- * be direct if, and only if, the byte buffer itself is direct.  Whether or not
- * $a$ $fulltype$ buffer is direct may be determined by invoking the {@link
- * #isDirect isDirect} method.  </p>
- *
-#end[!byte]
-*
-#if[char]
- *
- * <p> This class implements the {@link CharSequence} interface so that
- * character buffers may be used wherever character sequences are accepted, for
- * example in the regular-expression package <tt>{@link java.util.regex}</tt>.
- * </p>
- *
-#end[char]
- *
-#if[byte]
- * <h4> Invocation chaining </h4>
-#end[byte]
- *
- * <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.
- *
-#if[byte]
- *
- * 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>

- * can, for example, be replaced by the single statement
