      public class Pointer
      extends java.lang.Object

  An abstraction for a native pointer data type. A Pointer instance represents, on the Java side, a native pointer. The native pointer could be any type of native pointer. Methods such as `write`, `read`, `getXXX`, and `setXXX`, provide means to access memory underlying the native pointer.

  While a constructor exists to create a Pointer from an integer value, it's not generally a good idea to be creating pointers that way.
