Remarks

A char buffer.

This class defines four categories of operations upon char buffers:

<ul>

<li>

Absolute and relative #get() <i>get</i> and #put(char) <i>put</i> methods that read and write single chars;

</li>

<li>

Relative #get(char[]) <i>bulk get</i> methods that transfer contiguous sequences of chars from this buffer into an array; and

</li>

<li>

Relative #put(char[]) <i>bulk put</i> methods that transfer contiguous sequences of chars from a char array,&#32;a&#32;string, or some other char buffer into this buffer;&#32;and

</li>

<li>

Methods for #compact compacting, #duplicate duplicating, and #slice slicing a char buffer.

</li>

</ul>

Char buffers can be created either by #allocate <i>allocation</i>, which allocates space for the buffer's

content, by #wrap(char[]) <i>wrapping</i> an existing char array or&#32;string into a buffer, or by creating a <i>view</i> of an existing byte buffer.

Like a byte buffer, a char buffer is either <i>direct</i> or <i>non-direct</i>. A char buffer created via the wrap methods of this class will be non-direct. A char 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 char buffer is direct may be determined by invoking the #isDirect isDirect method.

This class implements the CharSequence interface so that character buffers may be used wherever character sequences are accepted, for example in the regular-expression package java.util.regex.

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.

The sequence of statements

<blockquote>

cb.put("text/");
            cb.put(subtype);
            cb.put("; charset=");
            cb.put(enc);

</blockquote>

can, for example, be replaced by the single statement

<blockquote>

cb.put("text/").put(subtype).put("; charset=").put(enc);
