Interface Buffer

  • All Superinterfaces:
    java.lang.Comparable<Buffer>

    public interface Buffer
    extends java.lang.Comparable<Buffer>
    JDK ByteBuffer was taken as base for Grizzly Buffer interface, but Buffer has several extensions: it's possible to prepend some data to a Buffer and release Buffer, when it's not required any more.

      • duplicate

        Buffer duplicate()
        Creates a new Buffer that 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
      • 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.
      • dispose

        Returns this buffer's limit.

        Returns:
        The limit of this buffer
      • limit

        Buffer limit​(int newLimit)
        Sets this buffer's limit. If the position is larger than the new limit then it is set to the new limit. If the mark is defined and larger than the new limit then it is discarded.

        Parameters:
        newLimit - The new limit value; must be non-negative and no larger than this buffer's capacity
        Returns:
        This buffer

        Returns:
        This buffer
      • reset

        Buffer reset()
        Resets this buffer's position to the previously-marked position.

        Invoking this method neither changes nor discards the mark's value.

        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.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
         
        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
         
        Returns:
        This buffer

      • get

        Buffer get​(byte[] dst,
                   int offset,
                   int length)
        Relative bulk get method.

        This method transfers bytes from this buffer into the given destination array. If there are fewer bytes remaining in the buffer than are required to satisfy the request, that is, if length > remaining(), then no bytes are transferred and a BufferUnderflowException is thrown.

        Otherwise, this method copies length bytes from this buffer into the given array, starting at the current position of this buffer and at the given offset in the array. The position of this buffer is then incremented by length.

        In other words, an invocation of this method of the form src.get(dst, off, len) has exactly the same effect as the loop

         
             for (int i = off; i < off + len; i++)
                 dst[i] = src.get(); 
         
        except that it first checks that there are sufficient bytes in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

        Parameters:
        dst - The array into which bytes are to be written
        offset - The offset within the array of the first byte to be written; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length
        length - The maximum number of bytes to be written to the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length - offset
        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length bytes remaining in this buffer
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold
      • 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

         src.get(a, 0, a.length)
         
        Parameters:
        dst - the destination byte array
        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length bytes remaining in this buffer
      • put

                   int length)
        Relative bulk put method  (optional operation).

        This method transfers bytes into this buffer from the given source array. If there are more bytes to be copied from the array than remain in this buffer, that is, if length > remaining(), then no bytes are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown.

        Otherwise, this method copies length bytes from the given array into this buffer, starting at the given offset in the array and at the current position of this buffer. The position of this buffer is then incremented by length.

        In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src, off, len) has exactly the same effect as the loop

         for (int i = off; i < off + len; i++)
             dst.put(a[i]);
         
        except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.

        Parameters:
        src - The array from which bytes are to be read
        offset - The offset within the array of the first byte to be read; must be non-negative and no larger than array.length
        length - The number of bytes to be read from the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than array.length - offset
        Returns:
        This buffer
        Throws:
        java.nio.BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold

        Relative bulk put method  (optional operation).

        This method transfers the entire content of the given source byte array into this buffer. An invocation of this method of the form dst.put(a) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

         dst.put(a, 0, a.length)
         
        Parameters:
        src - the source byte array
        Returns:
