A direct byte buffer whose content is a memory-mapped region of a file.

Mapped byte buffers are created via the FileChannel.map method. This class extends the ByteBuffer class with operations that are specific to memory-mapped file regions.

A mapped byte buffer and the file mapping that it represents remain valid until the buffer itself is garbage-collected.

The content of a mapped byte buffer can change at any time, for example if the content of the corresponding region of the mapped file is changed by this program or another. Whether or not such changes occur, and when they occur, is operating-system dependent and therefore unspecified.

All or part of a mapped byte buffer may become inaccessible at any time, for example if the mapped file is truncated. An attempt to access an inaccessible region of a mapped byte buffer will not change the buffer's content and will cause an unspecified exception to be thrown either at the time of the access or at some later time. It is therefore strongly recommended that appropriate precautions be taken to avoid the manipulation of a mapped file by this program, or by a concurrently running program, except to read or write the file's content.

Mapped byte buffers otherwise behave no differently than ordinary direct byte buffers.

Tells whether this buffer was mapped against a non-volatile memory device by passing one of the sync map modes ExtendedMapModeMapMode#READ_ONLY_SYNC or ExtendedMapMode#READ_WRITE_SYNC in the call to FileChannel.map or was mapped by passing one of the other map modes.

Tells whether or not this buffer's content is resident in physical memory.

A return value of true implies that it is highly likely that all of the data in this buffer is resident in physical memory and may therefore be accessed without incurring any virtual-memory page faults or I/O operations. A return value of false does not necessarily imply that the buffer's content is not resident in physical memory.

The returned value is a hint, rather than a guarantee, because the underlying operating system may have paged out some of the buffer's data by the time that an invocation of this method returns.

Returns: true if it is likely that this buffer's content is resident in physical memory

Forces any changes made to this buffer's content to be written to the storage device containing the mapped file.

If the file mapped into this buffer resides on a local storage device then when this method returns it is guaranteed that all changes made to the buffer since it was created, or since this method was last invoked, will have been written to that device.

If the file does not reside on a local device then no such guarantee is made.

If this buffer was not mapped in read/write mode (MapMode.READ_WRITE) then invoking this method may have no effect. In particular, the method has no effect for buffers mapped in read-only or private mapping modes. This method may or may not have an effect for implementation-specific mapping modes.

Returns: This buffer

Forces any changes made to a region of this buffer's content to be written to the storage device containing the mapped file. The region starts at the given index in this buffer and is length bytes.

If the file mapped into this buffer resides on a local storage device then when this method returns it is guaranteed that all changes made to the selected region buffer since it was created, or since this method was last invoked, will have been written to that device. The force operation is free to write bytes that lie outside the specified region, for example to ensure that data blocks of some device-specific granularity are transferred in their entirety.

If the file does not reside on a local device then no such guarantee is made.

If this buffer was not mapped in read/write mode (MapMode.READ_WRITE) then invoking this method may have no effect. In particular, the method has no effect for buffers mapped in read-only or private mapping modes. This method may or may not have an effect for implementation-specific mapping modes.

Params:
  • index – The index of the first byte in the buffer region that is to be written back to storage; must be non-negative and less than limit()
  • length – The length of the region in bytes; must be non-negative and no larger than limit() - index
Throws:
Returns: This buffer
