  - malloc
```
public static ByteBuffer malloc(int size)
```
    Calls malloc() and wraps the result in a ByteBuffer
    
    Parameters:
    
    size - the number of bytes to allocate, must be positive, int because ByteBuffer only supports int indices
    
    Returns:
    
    the new buffer, never null, the content is uninitialized as per malloc() contract, must be released with free(ByteBuffer)
    
    Throws:
    
    AllocationFailedException - if malloc returns NULL
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if size is not positive

  - free
```
public static void free(ByteBuffer buffer)
```
    Calls free() on the contents of the given ByteBuffer.
    This method may crash the JVM the buffer passed has not been created by malloc(int) or has already been passed to this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    buffer - the buffer to free, not null, must have been created with malloc(int), must not be accessed afterwards, must not be passed to this method again
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if buffer is null
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if buffer is not a direct buffer
