# Class CircularByteBuffer

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.io.input.buffer.CircularByteBuffer

public class CircularByteBuffer extends Object
A buffer, which doesn't need reallocation of byte arrays, because it reuses a single byte array. This works particularly well, if reading from the buffer takes place at the same time than writing to. Such is the case, for example, when using the buffer within a filtering input stream, like the `CircularBufferInputStream`.

  Constructor
  Description
  `CircularByteBuffer()`

- ## Method Summary

  Modifier and Type
  Method
  Description
  `void`
  `add(byte value)`
  Adds a new byte to the buffer, which will eventually be returned by following invocations of `read()`.
  `void`
  `add(byte[] targetBuffer, int offset, int length)`
  Adds the given bytes to the buffer.
  `void`
  `clear()`
  Removes all bytes from the buffer.
  `int`
  `getCurrentNumberOfBytes()`
  Gets the number of bytes, that are currently present in the buffer.
  `int`
  `getSpace()`
  Gets the number of bytes, that can currently be added to the buffer.
  `boolean`
  `hasBytes()`
  Tests whether the buffer is currently holding at least a single byte.
  `boolean`
  `hasSpace()`
  Tests whether there is currently room for a single byte in the buffer.
  `boolean`
  `hasSpace(int count)`
  Tests whether there is currently room for the given number of bytes in the buffer.
  `boolean`
  `peek(byte[] sourceBuffer, int offset, int length)`
  Returns, whether the next bytes in the buffer are exactly those, given by `sourceBuffer`, `offset`, and `length`.
  `byte`
  `read()`
  Returns the next byte from the buffer, removing it at the same time, so that following invocations won't return it again.
  `void`
  `read(byte[] targetBuffer, int targetOffset, int length)`
  Returns the given number of bytes from the buffer by storing them in the given byte array at the given offset.

- ## Method Details

  - ### add

    public void add(byte value)
    Adds a new byte to the buffer, which will eventually be returned by following invocations of `read()`.
    Parameters:
      `value` - The byte, which is being added to the buffer.
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - The buffer is full. Use `hasSpace()`, or `getSpace()`, to prevent this exception.

  - ### add

    public void add(byte[] targetBuffer, int offset, int length)
    Adds the given bytes to the buffer. This is the same as invoking `add(byte)` for the bytes at offsets `offset+0`, `offset+1`, ..., `offset+length-1` of byte array `targetBuffer`.
    Parameters:
      `targetBuffer` - the buffer to copy
      `offset` - start offset
      `length` - length to copy
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - The buffer doesn't have sufficient space. Use `getSpace()` to prevent this exception.
      `IllegalArgumentException` - Either of `offset`, or `length` is negative.
      `NullPointerException` - The byte array `targetBuffer` is null.

  - ### clear

    public void clear()
    Removes all bytes from the buffer.

  - ### getCurrentNumberOfBytes

    public int getCurrentNumberOfBytes()
    Gets the number of bytes, that are currently present in the buffer.
    Returns:
      the number of bytes

  - ### getSpace

    public int getSpace()
    Gets the number of bytes, that can currently be added to the buffer.
    Returns:
      the number of bytes that can be added

  - ### hasBytes

    public boolean hasBytes()
    Tests whether the buffer is currently holding at least a single byte.
    Returns:
      true whether the buffer is currently holding at least a single byte.

  - ### hasSpace

    public boolean hasSpace()
    Tests whether there is currently room for a single byte in the buffer. Same as `hasSpace(1)`.
    Returns:
      true whether there is currently room for a single byte in the buffer.
    See Also:
      - `hasSpace(int)`
      - `getSpace()`

  - ### hasSpace

    public boolean hasSpace(int count)
    Tests whether there is currently room for the given number of bytes in the buffer.
    Parameters:
      `count` - the byte count
    Returns:
      true whether there is currently room for the given number of bytes in the buffer.
    See Also:
      - `hasSpace()`
      - `getSpace()`

  - ### peek

    public boolean peek(byte[] sourceBuffer, int offset, int length)
    Returns, whether the next bytes in the buffer are exactly those, given by `sourceBuffer`, `offset`, and `length`. No bytes are being removed from the buffer. If the result is true, then the following invocations of `read()` are guaranteed to return exactly those bytes.
    Parameters:
      `sourceBuffer` - the buffer to compare against
      `offset` - start offset
      `length` - length to compare
    Returns:
      True, if the next invocations of `read()` will return the bytes at offsets `sourceBuffer`+0, `offset`+1, ..., `offset`+`length`-1 of byte array `sourceBuffer`.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - Either of `sourceBuffer`, or `length` is negative.
      `NullPointerException` - The byte array `sourceBuffer` is null.

  - ### read

    public byte read()
    Returns the next byte from the buffer, removing it at the same time, so that following invocations won't return it again.
    Returns:
      The byte, which is being returned.
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - The buffer is empty. Use `hasBytes()`, or `getCurrentNumberOfBytes()`, to prevent this exception.

  - ### read

    public void read(byte[] targetBuffer, int targetOffset, int length)
    Returns the given number of bytes from the buffer by storing them in the given byte array at the given offset.
    Parameters:
      `targetBuffer` - The byte array, where to add bytes.
      `targetOffset` - The offset, where to store bytes in the byte array.
      `length` - The number of bytes to return.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - The byte array `targetBuffer` is null.
      `IllegalArgumentException` - Either of `targetOffset`, or `length` is negative, or the length of the byte array `targetBuffer` is too small.
      `IllegalStateException` - The buffer doesn't hold the given number of bytes. Use `getCurrentNumberOfBytes()` to prevent this exception.
