public abstract char get()

Reads the char at this buffer's current position, and then increments the position.

Throws:

BufferUnderflowException - If there are no remaining chars in this buffer.

public CharBuffer get(char[] dst)

This method transfers chars from this buffer into the given destination array.

Parameters:

dst - The byte array to write into.

Throws:

BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than dst.length chars remaining in this buffer.

public CharBuffer get(char[] dst,
                      int offset,
                      int length)

This method transfers chars from this buffer into the given destination array. Before the transfer, it checks if there are fewer than length chars remaining in this buffer.

Parameters:

dst - The destination array

offset - The offset within the array of the first char to be written; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length.

length - The maximum number of bytes to be written to the given array; must be non-negative and no larger than dst.length - offset.

Throws:

BufferUnderflowException - If there are fewer than length chars remaining in this buffer.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - If index is negative or not smaller than the buffer's limit.

public final boolean hasArray()

Tells whether ot not this buffer is backed by an accessible char array.

public int hashCode()

Calculates a hash code for this buffer. This is done with int arithmetic, where ** represents exponentiation, by this formula:
s[position()] + 31 + (s[position()+1] + 30)*31**1 + ... + (s[limit()-1]+30)*31**(limit()-1). Where s is the buffer data. Note that the hashcode is dependent on buffer content, and therefore is not useful if the buffer content may change.

Overrides:

hashCode in interface Object

Tells wether or not this buffer is direct.

public final int length()

Returns the length of the remaining chars in this buffer.

Specified by:

length in interface CharSequence

public abstract ByteOrder order()

Returns the byte order of this buffer.

public abstract CharBuffer put(char b)

Throws:

BufferOverflowException - If there no remaining chars in this buffer.

ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only.

public final CharBuffer put(char[] src)

Writes the content of the the char array src into the buffer.

Parameters:

src - The array to copy into the buffer.

Throws:

BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer for the remaining chars in the source array.

ReadOnlyBufferException - If this buffer is read-only.

public CharBuffer put(char[] src,
                      int offset,
                      int length)

Throws:

BufferOverflowException - If there is insufficient space in this buffer for the remaining chars in the source array.

IndexOutOfBoundsException - If the preconditions on the offset and length parameters do not hold
