A file buffer manager manages file buffers for files while the files are connected to the file buffer manager. In order to connect a file to a file buffer manager call connect. After that call has successfully completed the file buffer can be obtained by getFileBuffer. The file buffer is created on the first connect and disposed on the last disconnect. I.e. the file buffer manager keeps track of how often a file is connected and returns the same file buffer to each client as long as the file is connected.

Clients are not supposed to implement that interface.

Since:3.0
@noimplementThis interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.
@noextendThis interface is not intended to be extended by clients.
