```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    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 ByteBuf.readerIndex(int) and ByteBuf.writerIndex(int) methods. For example, the following code will fail:
    // Create a buffer whose readerIndex, writerIndex and capacity are // 0, 0 and 8 respectively. ByteBuf buf = Unpooled.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. ByteBuf buf = Unpooled.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);
    Specified by:
    
    setIndex in class ByteBuf
  - clear
```
public ByteBuf clear()
```
    Description copied from class: ByteBuf
    
    Sets the readerIndex and writerIndex of this buffer to 0. This method is identical to setIndex(0, 0).
    Please note that the behavior of this method is different from that of NIO buffer, which sets the limit to the capacity of the buffer.

    Description copied from class: ByteBuf

    ensureWritable in class ByteBuf
    
    Parameters:
    
    minWritableBytes - the expected minimum number of writable bytes

    true - the capacity of the buffer is expanded to ByteBuf.maxCapacity()
    
    false - the capacity of the buffer is unchanged
    
    Returns:
    
    0 if the buffer has enough writable bytes, and its capacity is unchanged. 1 if the buffer does not have enough bytes, and its capacity is unchanged. 2 if the buffer has enough writable bytes, and its capacity has been increased. 3 if the buffer does not have enough bytes, but its capacity has been increased to its maximum.

If this.writableBytes is less than length, ByteBuf.ensureWritable(int) will be called in an attempt to expand capacity to accommodate.
