```
    Returns:
    
    true if this Buffer represents a composite of individual Buffer instances.
  - prepend
```
Buffer prepend(Buffer header)
```
    Prepend data from header.position() to header.limit() to the current buffer. This will change the value returned by buffer()!
    
    Parameters:
    
    header - the data to prepend
    
    Returns:
    
    the new buffer
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if header.limit() - header.position() is greater than headerSize.
  - trim
```
void trim()
```
    Trim the buffer by reducing capacity to position, if possible. May return without changing capacity. Also resets the position to 0, like flip().
  - 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.
  - split
```
Buffer split(int splitPosition)
```
    Split up the buffer into two parts: [0..splitPosition) and [splitPosition, capacity). This Buffer will represent the first part: [0..splitPosition) and returned Buffer will represent the second part: [splitPosition, capacity). Splitting a buffer will reset the mark if the mark is greater than or equal to the splitPosition.
    
    Parameters:

    Parameters:
    
    newLimit - The new limit value; must be non-negative and no larger than this buffer's capacity
    
    Returns:
    
    This buffer
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - If the preconditions on newLimit do not hold
  - mark
```
Buffer mark()
```
    Sets this buffer's mark at its position.
    
    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:
    
    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
    This method is often used in conjunction with the compact method when transferring data from one place to another.
    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
  - remaining
```
int remaining()
```
    Returns the number of elements between the current position and the limit.
    
    Specified by:
    
    remaining in interface WritableMessage
    
    Returns:
    
    The number of elements remaining in this buffer
  - hasRemaining
```
boolean hasRemaining()
```
    Tells whether there are any elements between the current position and the limit.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hasRemaining in interface WritableMessage
    
    Returns:
    
    true if, and only if, there is at least one element remaining in this buffer
  - isReadOnly
```
boolean isReadOnly()
```
    Tells whether or not this buffer is read-only.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if, and only if, this buffer is read-only
  - slice
```
Buffer slice()
```
    Creates a new Buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content.
    The content of the new buffer will start at this buffer's current position. Changes to this buffer's content will be visible in the new buffer, and vice versa; the two buffers' position, limit, and mark values will be independent.
    The new buffer's position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of bytes remaining in this buffer, and its mark will be undefined. 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
  - slice
```
Buffer slice(int position,
             int limit)
```
    Creates a new Buffer whose content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content.
    The content of the new buffer will start at passed position and end at passed limit. 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 position will be zero, its capacity and its limit will be the number of bytes remaining in this buffer, and its mark will be undefined. 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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    position - the position of the start of the slice
    
    limit - the limit to take the slice up to
    
    Returns:
    
    The new Buffer
  - 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
  - asReadOnlyBuffer
```
Buffer asReadOnlyBuffer()
```
    Creates a new, read-only 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; the new buffer itself, however, will be read-only and will not allow the shared content to be modified. 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.
    If this buffer is itself read-only then this method behaves in exactly the same way as the duplicate method.
    
    Returns:
    
    The new, read-only Buffer
  - get

byte get()
```
    Relative get method. Reads the byte at this buffer's current position, and then increments the position.
    
    Returns:

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
```

```
    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.

    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.

           int offset,
           int length)
```
    Relative bulk get method.
    This method transfers bytes from this buffer into the given destination ByteBuffer. 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 ByteBuffer, starting at the current position of this buffer and at the given offset in the ByteBuffer. 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.put(i) = src.get();

    BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length bytes remaining in this buffer
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold
  - put
```
Buffer put(Buffer src)
```
    Relative bulk put method (optional operation).
    This method transfers the bytes remaining in the given source buffer into this buffer. If there are more bytes remaining in the source buffer than in this buffer, that is, if src.remaining() > remaining(), then no bytes are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown.
    Otherwise, this method copies n = src.remaining() bytes from the given buffer into this buffer, starting at each buffer's current position. The positions of both buffers are then incremented by n.
    In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src) has exactly the same effect as the loop
```

           int length)
```
    Relative bulk put method (optional operation).
    This method transfers the "length" bytes from the given source buffer into this buffer. If this buffer has less bytes remaining than length, that is, if length > remaining(), then no bytes are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown.

    Otherwise, this method copies n = src.remaining() bytes from the given buffer into this buffer, starting at each buffer's current position. The positions of both buffers are then incremented by n.
    In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src) has exactly the same effect as the loop

```
    except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.
    Parameters:
    
    src - The source buffer from which bytes are to be read; must not be this buffer
    
    Returns:
    
    This buffer
    
    Throws:
    
    BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer for the remaining bytes in the source buffer
    
    IllegalArgumentException - If the source buffer is this buffer
    
    ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
  - put
```
Buffer put(ByteBuffer src,
           int position,
           int length)
```
    Relative bulk put method (optional operation).
    This method transfers the "length" bytes from the given source buffer into this buffer. If this buffer has less bytes remaining than length, that is, if length > remaining(), then no bytes are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown.
    Otherwise, this method copies n = length bytes from the given position in the source buffer into this buffer, starting from the current buffer position. The positions of this buffer is then incremented by length.
    In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put(src, position, length) has exactly the same effect as the loop
```
 for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
     dst.put(src.get(i + position));
 
```
    except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.
    Parameters:
    
    src - The source buffer from which bytes are to be read; must not be this buffer
    
    position - starting position in the source buffer
    
    length - number of bytes to be copied
    
    Returns:
    
    This buffer
    
    Throws:
    
    BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer for the remaining bytes in the source buffer
    
    IllegalArgumentException - If the source buffer is this buffer
    
    ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
  - put
```
Buffer put(byte[] src)
```
    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 - source of bytes to put into the Buffer
    
    Returns:
    
    This buffer
    
    Throws:
    
    BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer
    
    ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
  - put
```
Buffer put(byte[] src,
           int offset,
           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:
    
    BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold
    
    ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
  - put8BitString
```
Buffer put8BitString(String s)
```
    Relative bulk put method (optional operation).
    This method transfers bytes into this buffer from the given 8-bit source String. If the source String.length() is bigger than this buffer's remaining, that is, if length() > remaining(), then no bytes are transferred and a BufferOverflowException is thrown.
    Otherwise, this method copies length bytes from the given String into this buffer.
    In other words, an invocation of this method of the form dst.put8BitString(src) has exactly the same effect as the loop
```
 for (int i = 0; i < src.length(); i++)
     dst.put((byte) src.charAt(i));
 
```
    except that it first checks that there is sufficient space in this buffer and it is potentially much more efficient.
    Parameters:
    
    s - The String from which bytes are to be read
    
    Returns:
    
    This buffer
    
    Throws:
    
    BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer
    
    ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
  - compact
```
Buffer compact()
```
    Compacts this buffer (optional operation).
    The bytes between the buffer's current position and its limit, if any, are copied to the beginning of the buffer. That is, the byte at index p = position() is copied to index zero, the byte at index p + 1 is copied to index one, and so forth until the byte at index limit() - 1 is copied to index n = limit() - 1 - p. The buffer's position is then set to n+1 and its limit is set to its capacity. The mark, if defined, is discarded.
    The buffer's position is set to the number of bytes copied, rather than to zero, so that an invocation of this method can be followed immediately by an invocation of another relative put method.
    
    Invoke this method after writing data from a buffer in case the write was incomplete. The following loop, for example, copies bytes from one channel to another via the buffer buf:
    buf.clear(); // Prepare buffer for use for (;;) { if (in.read(buf) < 0 && !buf.hasRemaining()) break; // No more bytes to transfer buf.flip(); out.write(buf); buf.compact(); // In case of partial write }
    Returns:
    
    This buffer
    
    Throws:
    
    ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only
  - order

                                  int position,
                                  int limit)
```
    Converts this Buffer to a ByteBuffer per toByteBuffer(int, int) and adds the result to the provided ByteBufferArray. It is guaranteed that returned array's ByteBuffer elements' content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content no matter if it's a CompositeBuffer or not.
    
    Parameters:
    
    array - the ByteBufferArray to append this to
    
    position - the start position within the source buffer
    
    limit - the limit, or number, of bytes to include in the resulting ByteBuffer
    
    Returns:
    
    returns the provided ByteBufferArray with the converted ByteBuffer added to provided array.

  - toBufferArray
```
BufferArray toBufferArray()
```
    Returns a new BufferArray instance with this Buffer added as an element to the BufferArray. It is guaranteed that returned array's Buffer elements' content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content no matter if it's a CompositeBuffer or not.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns a new BufferArray instance with this Buffer added as an element to the BufferArray.
  - toBufferArray
```
BufferArray toBufferArray(BufferArray array)
```
    Returns the specified BufferArray after adding this Buffer. It is guaranteed that returned array's Buffer elements' content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content no matter if it's a CompositeBuffer or not.
    
    Parameters:
    
    array - the base array to append to
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns the specified BufferArray after adding this Buffer.
  - toBufferArray
```
BufferArray toBufferArray(int position,
                          int limit)
```
    Updates this Buffer's position and limit and adds it to a new BufferArray instance. It is guaranteed that returned array's Buffer elements' content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content no matter if it's a CompositeBuffer or not.
    
    Parameters:
    
    position - the new position for this Buffer
    
    limit - the new limit for this Buffer
    
    Returns:
    
    adds this Buffer and returns the specified BufferArray.
  - toBufferArray
```
BufferArray toBufferArray(BufferArray array,
                          int position,
                          int limit)
```
    Updates this Buffer's position and limit and adds it to the specified BufferArray. It is guaranteed that returned array's Buffer elements' content is a shared subsequence of this buffer's content no matter if it's a CompositeBuffer or not.
    
    Parameters:
    
    array - the BufferArray to prepend to
    
    position - the new position for this Buffer
    
    limit - the new limit for this Buffer
    
    Returns:
    
    adds this Buffer and returns the specified BufferArray.
  - hasArray
```
boolean hasArray()
```
    Tells whether or not this buffer is backed by an accessible byte array. If this method returns true then the array and arrayOffset methods may safely be invoked.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if, and only if, this buffer is backed by an array and is not read-only
    
    Since:
    
    2.1.12
  - array
```
byte[] array()
```
    Returns the byte array that backs this buffer (optional operation). Modifications to this buffer's content will cause the returned array's content to be modified, and vice versa. Invoke the hasArray method before invoking this method in order to ensure that this buffer has an accessible backing array.
    
    Returns:
    
    The array that backs this buffer
    
    Throws:
    
    ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is backed by an array but is read-only
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - If this buffer is not backed by an accessible array
    
    Since:
    
    2.1.12
  - arrayOffset
```
int arrayOffset()
```
    Returns the offset within this buffer's backing array of the first element of the buffer (optional operation). If this buffer is backed by an array then buffer position p corresponds to array index p + arrayOffset(). Invoke the hasArray method before invoking this method in order to ensure that this buffer has an accessible backing array.
    
    Returns:
    
    The offset within this buffer's array of the first element of the buffer
    
    Throws:
    
    ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is backed by an array but is read-only
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - If this buffer is not backed by an accessible array
    
    Since:
    
    2.1.12
