# NAME

buffer.h - I/O buffer interface

# SYNOPSIS

    #include <limb/buffer.h>

# DESCRIPTION

This header defines required functions to performed buffered I/O operations.

<inc skalibs.md>

## Types

The following types are defined :

: *buffer*
:: An opaque structure representing an I/O buffer.

## Constants

The following constants are defined :

: *BUFFER_ZERO*
:: Value to initialize a stack-allocated *buffer* to.

: *BUFFER_INSIZE*, *BUFFER_OUTSIZE*, *BUFFER_ERRSIZE*, *BUFFER_INSIZE_SMALL*,
: *BUFFER_OUTSIZE_SMALL*
:: Buffer sizes of *buffer_0*, *buffer_1*, *buffer_2*, *buffer_0small*, and
:: *buffer_1small* respectively.

: *PUTMSG_FLUSH*, *PUTMSG_TOGGLE_ESC*, *PUTMSG_ESC*, *PUTMSG_UINT_NEXT*,
: *PUTMSG_INT_NEX*, *PUTMSG_ERR_NEXT*, *PUTMSG_LEN_NEXT*, *PUTMSG_HEX_NEXT*,
: *PUTMSG_DUMP_NEXT*, *ESC*
:: Can be used as a string given to [buffer_putmsg](3) with a special meaning.

## Macros

The following macros are defined :

: *BUFFER_INIT(`fn`, `fd`, `buf`, `len`)*
:: Value to initialize a statck-allocated buffer to, set to use function `fn`
:: with file descriptor `fd` and memory pointed by `buf` of length `len` bytes

: *PUTMSG_UINT(`n`)*, *PUTMSG_INT(`n`)*, *PUTMSG_ERR(`n`)*,
: *PUTMSG_LEN(`data`,`dlen`)*, *PUTMSG_HEX(`data`,`dlen`)*,
: *PUTMSG_DUMP(`data`,`dlen`)*
: *PMUINT(`n`)*, *PMINT(`n`)*, *PMERR(`n`)*, *PMLEN(`data`,`dlen`)*,
: *PMHEX(`data`,`dlen`)*, *PMDMP(`data`,`dlen`)*
:: Can be used for special processing to [buffer_putmsg](3).

## Objects

The following objects are defined :

: *buffer_0*
:: A reading *buffer* connected to fd 0, aka /stdin/

: *buffer_1*
:: A writing *buffer* connected to fd 1, aka /stdout/

: *buffer_2*
:: A writing *buffer* connected to fd 2, akak /stderr/

: *buffer_0small*
:: Similar to *buffer_0* but with a smaller buffer size. Note that you should
:: only use either one or the other, but never mix them both.

: *buffer_1small*
:: Similar to *buffer_1* but with a smaller buffer size. Note that you should
:: only use either one or the other, but never mix them both.

: *buffer_0f1*
:: Similar to *buffer_0* but will first try to flush *buffer_1* and only then
:: attempt to read from /stdin/ - A failure to flush *buffer_1* will cause a
:: failure to fill *buffer_0f1* without having attempted to read from its file
:: descriptor.
:: Note that you should only ever use a single buffer per file descriptor.

## Functions

The following functions/macros are defined :

: [buffer_init](3)
:: Initialize a *buffer*.

: [buffer_read](3)
:: Operational function to initialize a reading *buffer*.

: [buffer_write](3)
:: Operational function to initialize a write *buffer*.

:: needed.
