BufferLike is a common interface for Buffer and RangeBuffer. Even though both specializations have most methods in common, the semantics differ in subtle ways: A buffer must support reading any slice of data within its capacity. A range buffer only allows for reading within valid ranges and raises an exception upon violation.

  • Method Details

    • getCapacity

      long getCapacity()
      Buffers with 'unlimited' capacity should return Long.MAX_VALUE

    • slice

      BufferLike<A> slice(long offset, long length)
