```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer
    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 ChannelBuffer.readerIndex(int) and ChannelBuffer.writerIndex(int) methods. For example, the following code will fail:
```
 // Create a buffer whose readerIndex, writerIndex and capacity are
 // 0, 0 and 8 respectively.
 ChannelBuffer buf = ChannelBuffers.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.
 ChannelBuffer buf = ChannelBuffers.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);
 
```

public void clear()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer

```
public void ensureWritableBytes(int writableBytes)
```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer
    Makes sure the number of the writable bytes is equal to or greater than the specified value. If there is enough writable bytes in this buffer, this method returns with no side effect. Otherwise:
    - a non-dynamic buffer will throw an IndexOutOfBoundsException.
    - a dynamic buffer will expand its capacity so that the number of the writable bytes becomes equal to or greater than the specified value. The expansion involves the reallocation of the internal buffer and consequently memory copy.

    This method does not modify readerIndex or writerIndex of this buffer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    bytesBefore in interface ChannelBuffer
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes between the current readerIndex and the first occurrence if found. -1 otherwise.
  - bytesBefore
```
public int bytesBefore(int length,
                       ChannelBufferIndexFinder indexFinder)
```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer
    
    Locates the first place where the specified indexFinder returns true. The search starts the current readerIndex (inclusive) and lasts for the specified length.
    This method does not modify readerIndex or writerIndex of this buffer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    bytesBefore in interface ChannelBuffer
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes between the current readerIndex and the first place where the indexFinder returned true. -1 if the indexFinder did not return true at all.
  - bytesBefore
```
public int bytesBefore(int index,
                       int length,
                       byte value)
```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer
    
    Locates the first occurrence of the specified value in this buffer. The search starts from the specified index (inclusive) and lasts for the specified length.
    This method does not modify readerIndex or writerIndex of this buffer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    bytesBefore in interface ChannelBuffer
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes between the specified index and the first occurrence if found. -1 otherwise.
  - bytesBefore
```
public int bytesBefore(int index,
                       int length,
                       ChannelBufferIndexFinder indexFinder)
```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer
    
    Locates the first place where the specified indexFinder returns true. The search starts the specified index (inclusive) and lasts for the specified length.
    This method does not modify readerIndex or writerIndex of this buffer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    bytesBefore in interface ChannelBuffer
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of bytes between the specified index and the first place where the indexFinder returned true. -1 if the indexFinder did not return true at all.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer
    
    Returns a hash code which was calculated from the content of this buffer. If there's a byte array which is equal to this array, both arrays should return the same value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface ChannelBuffer
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)
```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer
    Determines if the content of the specified buffer is identical to the content of this array. 'Identical' here means:
    - the size of the contents of the two buffers are same and
    - every single byte of the content of the two buffers are same.
    Please note that it does not compare ChannelBuffer.readerIndex() nor ChannelBuffer.writerIndex(). This method also returns false for null and an object which is not an instance of ChannelBuffer type.
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface ChannelBuffer
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(ChannelBuffer that)
```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer
    
    Compares the content of the specified buffer to the content of this buffer. Comparison is performed in the same manner with the string comparison functions of various languages such as strcmp, memcmp and String.compareTo(String).
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<ChannelBuffer>
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface ChannelBuffer
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Description copied from interface: ChannelBuffer
    
    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 ChannelBuffer.readerIndex(), ChannelBuffer.writerIndex() and ChannelBuffer.capacity().
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface ChannelBuffer
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
  - checkReadableBytes
```
protected void checkReadableBytes(int minimumReadableBytes)
```
    Throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException if the current readable bytes of this buffer is less than the specified value.
