ByteBufferPool

A pool of byte buffers.

Buffers allow for more flexible memory management, and can be reused to reduce memory allocation overhead. Note, however, these pools are intended for the knio library. Once a buffer is released it is assumed to be no longer in use, and should not be used elsewhere because it may be reused elsewhere in the library.

Functions

acquire

abstract fun acquire(size: Int): ByteBuffer
