ByteBuffer rewind() methods in Java with Examples

The rewind() method of java.nio.ByteBuffer Class is used to rewind this buffer. The position is set to zero and the mark is discarded. Invoke this method before a sequence of channel-write or get operations, assuming that the limit has already been set appropriately. Invoking this method neither changes nor discards the mark’s value.

Syntax:

public ByteBuffer rewind()

Return Value: This method returns this buffer.



Below are the examples to illustrate the rewind() method:

public class GFG {

        // using allocate() method
        ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(4);
  
        // put byte value in byteBuffer
        // using put() method
        byteBuffer.put((byte)20);
        byteBuffer.put((byte)'a');
  
        // print the byte buffer
        System.out.println("Buffer before operation: "
                           + Arrays.toString(byteBuffer.array())
                           + "\nPosition: " + byteBuffer.position()
                           + "\nLimit: " + byteBuffer.limit());
  
        // rewind the Buffer
        // using rewind() method
        byteBuffer.rewind();
  
        // print the bytebuffer
        System.out.println("\nBuffer after operation: "
                           + Arrays.toString(byteBuffer.array())
                           + "\nPosition: " + byteBuffer.position()
                           + "\nLimit: " + byteBuffer.limit());
    }
}

                        filter_none









Output:


Buffer before operation: [20, 97, 0, 0]
Position: 2
Limit: 4

Buffer after operation: [20, 97, 0, 0]
Position: 0
Limit: 4
