## javax.imageio.stream
Class IIOByteBuffer

    java.lang.Object
      javax.imageio.stream.IIOByteBuffer

    public class IIOByteBuffer

extends Object

A class representing a mutable reference to an array of bytes and an offset and length within that array. `IIOByteBuffer` is used by `ImageInputStream` to supply a sequence of bytes to the caller, possibly with fewer copies than using the conventional `read` methods that take a user-supplied byte array.

The byte array referenced by an `IIOByteBuffer` will generally be part of an internal data structure belonging to an `ImageReader` implementation; its contents should be considered read-only and must not be modified.

Constructor Summary
`IIOByteBuffer(byte[] data, int offset, int length)` Constructs an `IIOByteBuffer` that references a given byte array, offset, and length.

Method Summary
`byte[]` | `getData()` Returns a reference to the byte array.
`int` | `getLength()` Returns the length of the data of interest within the byte array returned by `getData`.
`int` | `getOffset()` Returns the offset within the byte array returned by `getData` at which the data of interest start.
`void` | `setData(byte[] data)` Updates the array reference that will be returned by subsequent calls to the `getData` method.
`void` | `setLength(int length)` Updates the value that will be returned by subsequent calls to the `getLength` method.
`void` | `setOffset(int offset)` Updates the value that will be returned by subsequent calls to the `getOffset` method.

Constructor Detail

### IIOByteBuffer

    public IIOByteBuffer(byte[] data,
                         int offset,
                         int length)

  Constructs an `IIOByteBuffer` that references a given byte array, offset, and length.

  Parameters:
    `data` - a byte array.
    `offset` - an int offset within the array.
    `length` - an int specifying the length of the data of interest within byte array, in bytes.

Method Detail

### getData

    public byte[] getData()

  Returns a reference to the byte array. The returned value should be treated as read-only, and only the portion specified by the values of `getOffset` and `getLength` should be used.

  Returns:
    a byte array reference.
  See Also:
    `getOffset()`, `getLength()`, `setData(byte[])`

### setData

    public void setData(byte[] data)

  Updates the array reference that will be returned by subsequent calls to the `getData` method.

  Parameters:
    `data` - a byte array reference containing the new data value.
  See Also:
    `getData()`

### getOffset

    public int getOffset()

  Returns the offset within the byte array returned by `getData` at which the data of interest start.

  Returns:
    an int offset.
  See Also:
    `getData()`, `getLength()`, `setOffset(int)`

### setOffset

    public void setOffset(int offset)

  Updates the value that will be returned by subsequent calls to the `getOffset` method.

  Parameters:
    `offset` - an int containing the new offset value.
  See Also:
    `getOffset()`

### getLength

    public int getLength()

  Returns the length of the data of interest within the byte array returned by `getData`.

  Returns:
    an int length.
  See Also:
    `getData()`, `getOffset()`, `setLength(int)`

### setLength

    public void setLength(int length)

  Updates the value that will be returned by subsequent calls to the `getLength` method.

  Parameters:
    `length` - an int containing the new length value.
  See Also:
    `getLength()`
