.TH buffer 3
.SH NAME
buffer.h \- generic read/write buffering
.SH SYNTAX
.B #include <buffer.h>
buffer* buffer_0; /* like stdio's stdin */
buffer* buffer_1; /* like stdio's stdout */
buffer* buffer_2; /* like stdio's stderr */
.SH DESCRIPTION
buffer.h provides a generic buffer interface that can be used for
read and write buffering. Buffers must be initialized with
\fBbuffer_init\fR.
A buffer can only be used for reading or writing at the same time, not
both.
Unlike stdio, these write buffers are not flushed automatically at
program termination; you must manually call \fBbuffer_flush\fR,
\fBbuffer_putsflush\fR, \fBbuffer_putflush\fR or
\fBbuffer_putnlflush\fR.
.SH EXAMPLE
See buffer_init(3) for example read buffer code. Here is typical code
for printing an error message on stderr:
#include <buffer.h>
buffer_puts(buffer_2,"error: got only ");
buffer_putulong(buffer_2,got);
buffer_puts(buffer_2," bytes, but expected at least ");
buffer_putulong(buffer_2,expected);
buffer_putsflush(buffer_2," bytes!");
.SH "SEE ALSO"
buffer_init(3), buffer_put(3), buffer_get(3), buffer_flush(3)
