Detailed Description

Stores a list of ArraySegments of bytes to be sent over a socket.

Add bytes or ArraySegments to the BufferView using the Add() methods and then send the BufferView over a socket using the Send() method.

The list of ArraySegments can never be accessed directly. This is to ensure that the backing arrays are only read from to maintain thread-safety.

If you need a mutable copy of the bytes from the buffer you can use the CopyToArray() method.
