/**
 * <p>
 * Provides access to information about one of the memory
 * resources or pools used by the virtual machine.  Instances
 * of this bean are obtained by calling
 * {@link ManagementFactory#getMemoryPoolMXBeans()}.  One
 * bean is returned for each memory pool provided.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The memory pool bean allows the usage of the pool to be
 * monitored.  The bean can provide statistics on the current
 * and peak usage of the pool, and on the threshold levels the
 * pool uses.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link getUsage()} returns an approximation of the current
 * usage of the pool.  Calls to this method are expected to be
 * generally quick to perform; if the call is expensive, the
 * documentation of the bean should specify so.  For memory
 * pool beans that represent the memory used by garbage
 * collectors, the usage level includes both referenced and
 * unreferenced objects.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@link getPeakUsage()} and {@link resetPeakUsage()} enable
 * the retrieval of the peak usage level and setting it to the
 * current usage level, respectively.  Initially, the peak usage
 * level is relative to the start of the virtual machine.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Memory pools may also include optional support for usage thresholds.
 * The usage threshold is a particular level of memory usage.  When this
 * value is crossed (the current memory usage becomes equal to or greater
 * than this threshold level), the usage threshold count is increased.
 * This feature is designed for monitoring the trend in memory usage.
 * Support for a collection usage threshold is also provided, for
 * particular garbage collectors.  This is used to monitor the amount
 * of memory left uncollected after a garbage collection cycle.  There
 * is no need to make special garbage collection runs to support this;
 * the level following collection just needs to be monitored.
 * </p>
