  ByteBuf asByteBuf()
  Turn this object into a ByteBuf.

- Method Detail
  - asByteBuf
```
ByteBuf asByteBuf()
```
    Turn this object into a ByteBuf. This does not increment the reference count of the ByteBuf instance. The conversion or exposure of the ByteBuf must be idempotent, so that this method can be called either once, or multiple times, without causing any change in program behaviour.
    
    Returns:
    
    A ByteBuf instance from this object.
