/**
* A direct byte buffer whose content is a memory-mapped region of a file.
*
* <p> Mapped byte buffers are created via the {@link
* java.nio.channels.FileChannel#map FileChannel.map} method. This class
* extends the {@link java.nio.ByteBuffer ByteBuffer} class with operations that are specific to
* memory-mapped file regions.
*
* <p> A mapped byte buffer and the file mapping that it represents remain
* valid until the buffer itself is garbage-collected.
*
* <p> The content of a mapped byte buffer can change at any time, for example
* if the content of the corresponding region of the mapped file is changed by
* this program or another. Whether or not such changes occur, and when they
* occur, is operating-system dependent and therefore unspecified.
*
* <a name="inaccess"></a><p> All or part of a mapped byte buffer may become
* inaccessible at any time, for example if the mapped file is truncated. An
* attempt to access an inaccessible region of a mapped byte buffer 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. It is
* therefore strongly recommended that appropriate precautions be taken to
* avoid the manipulation of a mapped file by this program, or by a
* concurrently running program, except to read or write the file's content.
*
* <p> Mapped byte buffers otherwise behave no differently than ordinary direct
* byte buffers. </p>
