33 Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving.
35 An evbuffer can be used for preparing data before sending it to
36 the network or conversely for reading data from the network.
37 Evbuffers try to avoid memory copies as much as possible. As a
38 result, evbuffers can be used to pass data around without actually
39 incurring the overhead of copying the data.
41 A new evbuffer can be allocated with evbuffer_new(), and can be
42 freed with evbuffer_free(). Most users will be using evbuffers via
43 the bufferevent interface. To access a bufferevent's evbuffers, use
44 bufferevent_get_input() and bufferevent_get_output().
46 There are several guidelines for using evbuffers.
48 - if you already know how much data you are going to add as a result
49 of calling evbuffer_add() multiple times, it makes sense to use
50 evbuffer_expand() first to make sure that enough memory is allocated
51 before hand.
53 - evbuffer_add_buffer() adds the contents of one buffer to the other
54 without incurring any unnecessary memory copies.
56 - evbuffer_add() and evbuffer_add_buffer() do not mix very well:
57 if you use them, you will wind up with fragmented memory in your
58 buffer.
60 - For high-performance code, you may want to avoid copying data into and out
61 of buffers. You can skip the copy step by using
62 evbuffer_reserve_space()/evbuffer_commit_space() when writing into a
63 buffer, and evbuffer_peek() when reading.
65 In Libevent 2.0 and later, evbuffers are represented using a linked
66 list of memory chunks, with pointers to the first and last chunk in
67 the chain.
69 As the contents of an evbuffer can be stored in multiple different
70 memory blocks, it cannot be accessed directly. Instead, evbuffer_pullup()
71 can be used to force a specified number of bytes to be contiguous. This
72 will cause memory reallocation and memory copies if the data is split
73 across multiple blocks. It is more efficient, however, to use
74 evbuffer_peek() if you don't require that the memory to be contiguous.

249 Reserves space in the last chain or chains of an evbuffer.
251 Makes space available in the last chain or chains of an evbuffer that can
252 be arbitrarily written to by a user. The space does not become
253 available for reading until it has been committed with
254 evbuffer_commit_space().
256 The space is made available as one or more extents, represented by
257 an initial pointer and a length. You can force the memory to be
258 available as only one extent. Allowing more extents, however, makes the
259 function more efficient.
261 Multiple subsequent calls to this function will make the same space
262 available until evbuffer_commit_space() has been called.
264 It is an error to do anything that moves around the buffer's internal
265 memory structures before committing the space.
267 NOTE: The code currently does not ever use more than two extents.
268 This may change in future versions.
270 @param buf the evbuffer in which to reserve space.
271 @param size how much space to make available, at minimum. The
272 total length of the extents may be greater than the requested
273 length.
274 @param vec an array of one or more evbuffer_iovec structures to
275 hold pointers to the reserved extents of memory.
276 @param n_vec The length of the vec array. Must be at least 1;
277 2 is more efficient.
278 @return the number of provided extents, or -1 on error.
279 @see evbuffer_commit_space()

286 Commits previously reserved space.
288 Commits some of the space previously reserved with
289 evbuffer_reserve_space(). It then becomes available for reading.
291 This function may return an error if the pointer in the extents do
292 not match those returned from evbuffer_reserve_space, or if data
293 has been added to the buffer since the space was reserved.
295 If you want to commit less data than you got reserved space for,
296 modify the iov_len pointer of the appropriate extent to a smaller
297 value. Note that you may have received more space than you
298 requested if it was available!

347 Read data from an evbuffer into another evbuffer, draining

349 operations to the extent possible.
