-%description
-This library implements a simple interface with working with
-byte arrays. It is a shame that the Java SDK did not come with
-a built in class that was just simply a byte[], int offset,
-int length class which provided a rich interface similar to
-what the String class does for char arrays. This library
-fills in that void by providing a Buffer class which does provide
-that rich interface.
