+ * <h2> Direct <i>vs.</i> non-direct buffers </h2>
+ *
+ * <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 mapping} 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"></a>
+ * <h2> Access to binary data </h2>
+ *
+ * <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"></a>
+ *
+ * <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, $a$ $type$ buffer is either <a
+ * href="ByteBuffer.html#direct"><i>direct</i> or <i>non-direct</i></a>.  A
+ * $type$ buffer created via the <tt>wrap</tt> methods of this class will
+ * be non-direct.  $A$ $type$ 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
+ * $a$ $type$ 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]
+ * <h2> Invocation chaining </h2>
+#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.

+ *
+ * <blockquote><pre>
+ * bb.putInt(0xCAFEBABE);
+ * bb.putShort(3);
