public class CompositeByteBuf

A virtual buffer which shows multiple buffers as a single merged buffer. It is recommended to use ByteBufAllocator.compositeBuffer() or Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(ByteBuf...) instead of calling the constructor explicitly.

    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    
    Discards the bytes between the 0th index and readerIndex. It moves the bytes between readerIndex and writerIndex to the 0th index, and sets readerIndex and writerIndex to 0 and oldWriterIndex - oldReaderIndex respectively.
    Please refer to the class documentation for more detailed explanation.

  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    
    Returns the string representation of this buffer. This method does not necessarily return the whole content of the buffer but returns the values of the key properties such as ByteBuf.readerIndex(), ByteBuf.writerIndex() and ByteBuf.capacity().
    
    Overrides:

  - readerIndex
```
public CompositeByteBuf readerIndex(int readerIndex)
```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    
    Sets the readerIndex of this buffer.
    
    Overrides:
    
    readerIndex in class AbstractByteBuf
  - writerIndex
```
public CompositeByteBuf writerIndex(int writerIndex)
```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    
    Sets the writerIndex of this buffer.
    
    Overrides:

  - setIndex
```
public CompositeByteBuf setIndex(int readerIndex,
                                 int writerIndex)
```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    Sets the readerIndex and writerIndex of this buffer in one shot. This method is useful when you have to worry about the invocation order of ByteBuf.readerIndex(int) and ByteBuf.writerIndex(int) methods. For example, the following code will fail:
    // Create a buffer whose readerIndex, writerIndex and capacity are // 0, 0 and 8 respectively. ByteBuf buf = Unpooled.buffer(8); // IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown because the specified // readerIndex (2) cannot be greater than the current writerIndex (0). buf.readerIndex(2); buf.writerIndex(4);
    The following code will also fail:
    // Create a buffer whose readerIndex, writerIndex and capacity are // 0, 8 and 8 respectively. ByteBuf buf = Unpooled.wrappedBuffer(new byte[8]); // readerIndex becomes 8. buf.readLong(); // IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown because the specified // writerIndex (4) cannot be less than the current readerIndex (8). buf.writerIndex(4); buf.readerIndex(2);
    By contrast, this method guarantees that it never throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException as long as the specified indexes meet basic constraints, regardless what the current index values of the buffer are:
    // No matter what the current state of the buffer is, the following // call always succeeds as long as the capacity of the buffer is not // less than 4. buf.setIndex(2, 4);
    Overrides:
    
    setIndex in class AbstractByteBuf
  - clear
```
public CompositeByteBuf clear()
```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    
    Sets the readerIndex and writerIndex of this buffer to 0. This method is identical to setIndex(0, 0).
    Please note that the behavior of this method is different from that of NIO buffer, which sets the limit to the capacity of the buffer.

  - touch
```
public CompositeByteBuf touch()
```
    Description copied from interface: ReferenceCounted
    
    Records the current access location of this object for debugging purposes. If this object is determined to be leaked, the information recorded by this operation will be provided to you via ResourceLeakDetector. This method is a shortcut to touch(null).
    
    Specified by:
    
    touch in interface ReferenceCounted
    
    Overrides:
    
    touch in class AbstractReferenceCountedByteBuf
  - touch
```
public CompositeByteBuf touch(java.lang.Object hint)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReferenceCounted
    
    Records the current access location of this object with an additional arbitrary information for debugging purposes. If this object is determined to be leaked, the information recorded by this operation will be provided to you via ResourceLeakDetector.
    
    Specified by:
    
    touch in interface ReferenceCounted
    
    Overrides:
    
    touch in class AbstractReferenceCountedByteBuf
  - nioBuffers
```
public java.nio.ByteBuffer[] nioBuffers()
```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    
    Exposes this buffer's readable bytes as an NIO ByteBuffer's. The returned buffer either share or contains the copied content of this buffer, while changing the position and limit of the returned NIO buffer does not affect the indexes and marks of this buffer. This method does not modify readerIndex or writerIndex of this buffer. Please note that the returned NIO buffer will not see the changes of this buffer if this buffer is a dynamic buffer and it adjusted its capacity.
    
    Overrides:
    
    nioBuffers in class AbstractByteBuf
    
    See Also:
    
    ByteBuf.nioBufferCount(), ByteBuf.nioBuffer(), ByteBuf.nioBuffer(int, int)
  - discardSomeReadBytes
```
public CompositeByteBuf discardSomeReadBytes()
```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    
    Similar to ByteBuf.discardReadBytes() except that this method might discard some, all, or none of read bytes depending on its internal implementation to reduce overall memory bandwidth consumption at the cost of potentially additional memory consumption.
    
    Overrides:
    
    discardSomeReadBytes in class AbstractByteBuf
  - deallocate
```
protected void deallocate()
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractReferenceCountedByteBuf
    
    Called once AbstractReferenceCountedByteBuf.refCnt() is equals 0.
    
    Specified by:
    
    deallocate in class AbstractReferenceCountedByteBuf
  - unwrap
```
public ByteBuf unwrap()
```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    
    Return the underlying buffer instance if this buffer is a wrapper of another buffer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    unwrap in class ByteBuf
    
    Returns:
    
    null if this buffer is not a wrapper
