34 * Experimental new support for packet buffering.

78 /* --- @pkbuf_flush@ --- *
80 * Arguments: @pkbuf *pk@ = pointer to buffer block
81 * @octet *p@ = pointer to where to start searching
82 * @size_t len@ = length of new material added
86 * Use: Flushes any complete packets in a packet buffer. New
87 * material is assumed to have been added starting at @p@. If
88 * @p@ is null, then the scan starts at the beginning of the
89 * buffer, and the size of data already in the buffer is used in
92 * It is assumed that the buffer is initially enabled. You
93 * shouldn't be contributing data to a disabled buffer anyway.
94 * However, the buffer handler may at some point disable itself,
95 * and @pkbuf_flush@ can cope with this eventuality. Any
96 * pending data is left at the start of the buffer and can be
97 * flushed out by calling @pkbuf_flush(b, 0, 0)@ if the buffer

103 /* --- @pkbuf_close@ --- *
105 * Arguments: @pkbuf *pk@ = pointer to buffer block
109 * Use: Informs the client that no more data is likely to arrive. If
110 * there is a partial packet in the buffer, it is discarded.

117 * Arguments: @pkbuf *pk@ = pointer to buffer block
118 * @octet **p@ = output pointer to free space
120 * Returns: Free buffer size.
122 * Use: Returns the free portion of a packet buffer. Data can then
123 * be written to this portion, and split out into packets by
124 * calling @pkbuf_flush@.

132 * @const void *p@ = pointer to input data buffer
133 * @size_t sz@ = size of data in input buffer
137 * Use: Snarfs the data from the input buffer and spits it out as
138 * packets. This interface ignores the complexities of dealing
139 * with disablement: you should be using @pkbuf_free@ to
140 * contribute data if you want to cope with that.
