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.
This class defines four categories of operations upon int buffers:
Absolute and relative get
and putmethods that read and write single ints;Relative bulk get
methods that transfer contiguous sequences of ints from this buffer into an array; andRelative bulk put
methods that transfer contiguous sequences of ints from an int array or some other int buffer into this buffer; andMethods for compacting
, duplicating, and slicingan int buffer.Int buffers can be created either by allocation
