/**
* A container for data of a specific primitive type.
*
* <p> A buffer is a linear, finite sequence of elements of a specific
* primitive type. Aside from its content, the essential properties of a
* buffer are its capacity, limit, and position: </p>
*
* <blockquote>
*
* <p> A buffer's <i>capacity</i> is the number of elements it contains. The
* capacity of a buffer is never negative and never changes. </p>
*
* <p> A buffer's <i>limit</i> is the index of the first element that should
* not be read or written. A buffer's limit is never negative and is never
* greater than its capacity. </p>
*
* <p> A buffer's <i>position</i> is the index of the next element to be
* read or written. A buffer's position is never negative and is never
* greater than its limit. </p>
*
* </blockquote>
*
* <p> There is one subclass of this class for each non-boolean primitive type.
*
*
* <h2> Transferring data </h2>
*
* <p> Each subclass of this class defines two categories of <i>get</i> and
* <i>put</i> operations: </p>
*
* <blockquote>
*
* <p> <i>Relative</i> operations read or write one or more elements starting
* at the current position and then increment the position by the number of
* elements transferred. If the requested transfer exceeds the limit then a
* relative <i>get</i> operation throws a {@link java.nio.BufferUnderflowException BufferUnderflowException}
* and a relative <i>put</i> operation throws a {@link java.nio.BufferOverflowException BufferOverflowException}; in either case, no data is transferred. </p>
*
* <p> <i>Absolute</i> operations take an explicit element index and do not
* affect the position. Absolute <i>get</i> and <i>put</i> operations throw
* an {@link java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException IndexOutOfBoundsException} if the index argument exceeds the
* limit. </p>
*
* </blockquote>
*
* <p> Data may also, of course, be transferred in to or out of a buffer by the
* I/O operations of an appropriate channel, which are always relative to the
* current position.
*
*
* <h2> Marking and resetting </h2>
*
* <p> A buffer's <i>mark</i> is the index to which its position will be reset
* when the {@link #reset reset} method is invoked. The mark is not always
* defined, but when it is defined it is never negative and is never greater
* than the position. If the mark is defined then it is discarded when the
* position or the limit is adjusted to a value smaller than the mark. If the
* mark is not defined then invoking the {@link #reset reset} method causes an
* {@link java.nio.InvalidMarkException InvalidMarkException} to be thrown.
*
*
* <h2> Invariants </h2>
*
* <p> The following invariant holds for the mark, position, limit, and
* capacity values:
*
* <blockquote>
* <tt>0</tt> <tt>&lt;=</tt>
* <i>mark</i> <tt>&lt;=</tt>
* <i>position</i> <tt>&lt;=</tt>
* <i>limit</i> <tt>&lt;=</tt>
* <i>capacity</i>
* </blockquote>
*
* <p> A newly-created buffer always has a position of zero and a mark that is
* undefined. The initial limit may be zero, or it may be some other value
* that depends upon the type of the buffer and the manner in which it is
* constructed. Each element of a newly-allocated buffer is initialized
* to zero.
*
*
* <h2> Clearing, flipping, and rewinding </h2>
*
* <p> In addition to methods for accessing the position, limit, and capacity
* values and for marking and resetting, this class also defines the following
* operations upon buffers:
*
* <ul>
*
* <li><p> {@link #clear} makes a buffer ready for a new sequence of
* channel-read or relative <i>put</i> operations: It sets the limit to the
* capacity and the position to zero. </p></li>
*
* <li><p> {@link #flip} makes a buffer ready for a new sequence of
* channel-write or relative <i>get</i> operations: It sets the limit to the
* current position and then sets the position to zero. </p></li>
*
* <li><p> {@link #rewind} makes a buffer ready for re-reading the data that
* it already contains: It leaves the limit unchanged and sets the position
* to zero. </p></li>
*
* </ul>
*
*
* <h2> Read-only buffers </h2>
*
* <p> Every buffer is readable, but not every buffer is writable. The
* mutation methods of each buffer class are specified as <i>optional
* operations</i> that will throw a {@link java.nio.ReadOnlyBufferException ReadOnlyBufferException} when
* invoked upon a read-only buffer. A read-only buffer does not allow its
* content to be changed, but its mark, position, and limit values are mutable.
* Whether or not a buffer is read-only may be determined by invoking its
* {@link #isReadOnly isReadOnly} method.
*
*
* <h2> Thread safety </h2>
*
* <p> Buffers are not safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. If a
* buffer is to be used by more than one thread then access to the buffer
* should be controlled by appropriate synchronization.
*
*
* <h2> Invocation chaining </h2>
*
* <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; for example, the sequence of statements
*
* <blockquote><pre>
* b.flip();
* b.position(23);
* b.limit(42);</pre></blockquote>
*
* can be replaced by the single, more compact statement
*
* <blockquote><pre>
* b.flip().position(23).limit(42);</pre></blockquote>
