 * The management interface for a buffer pool, for example a pool of

 * {@link java.nio.ByteBuffer#allocateDirect direct} or {@link

 * java.nio.MappedByteBuffer mapped} buffers.

 *

 * <p> A class implementing this interface is an

 * {@link javax.management.MXBean}. A Java

 * virtual machine has one or more implementations of this interface. The {@link

 * java.lang.management.ManagementFactory#getPlatformMXBeans getPlatformMXBeans}

 * method can be used to obtain the list of {@code BufferPoolMXBean} objects

 * representing the management interfaces for pools of buffers as follows:

 * <pre>

 *     List<BufferPoolMXBean> pools = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMXBeans(BufferPoolMXBean.class);

 * </pre>

 *

 * <p> The management interfaces are also registered with the platform {@link

 * javax.management.MBeanServer MBeanServer}. The {@link

 * javax.management.ObjectName ObjectName} that uniquely identifies the

 * management interface within the {@code MBeanServer} takes the form:

 * <pre>

 *     java.nio:type=BufferPool,name=<i>pool name</i>

 * </pre>

 * where <em>pool name</em> is the {@link #getName name} of the buffer pool.
