An int buffer.

This class defines four categories of operations upon int buffers:

• Absolute and relative get and put methods that read and write single ints;

• Absolute and relative bulk get methods that transfer contiguous sequences of ints from this buffer into an array; and

• Absolute and relative bulk put methods that transfer contiguous sequences of ints from an int array or some other int buffer into this buffer; and

• A method for compacting an int buffer.

Int buffers can be created either by allocation, which allocates space for the buffer's content, by wrapping an existing int array into a buffer, or by creating a view of an existing byte buffer.

Like a byte buffer, an int buffer is either direct or non-direct. A int buffer created via the wrap methods of this class will be non-direct. An int 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 an int buffer is direct may be determined by invoking the isDirect method.

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.

Summary

Public methods

final int	arrayOffset() Returns the offset within this buffer's backing array of the first element of the buffer  (optional operation).
abstract IntBuffer	asReadOnlyBuffer() Creates a new, read-only int buffer that shares this buffer's content.
Buffer	clear() Clears this buffer.
abstract IntBuffer	compact() Compacts this buffer  (optional operation).
int	compareTo(IntBuffer that) Compares this buffer to another.
abstract IntBuffer	duplicate() Creates a new int buffer that shares this buffer's content.
boolean	equals(Object ob) Tells whether or not this buffer is equal to another object.
