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

223 This is useful when processing data that might be split into multiple

247 Reserves space in the last chain or chains of an evbuffer.
249 Makes space available in the last chain or chains of an evbuffer that can
250 be arbitrarily written to by a user. The space does not become
251 available for reading until it has been committed with
252 evbuffer_commit_space().
254 The space is made available as one or more extents, represented by
255 an initial pointer and a length. You can force the memory to be
256 available as only one extent. Allowing more extents, however, makes the
257 function more efficient.
259 Multiple subsequent calls to this function will make the same space
260 available until evbuffer_commit_space() has been called.
262 It is an error to do anything that moves around the buffer's internal
263 memory structures before committing the space.
265 NOTE: The code currently does not ever use more than two extents.
266 This may change in future versions.
268 @param buf the evbuffer in which to reserve space.
269 @param size how much space to make available, at minimum. The
270 total length of the extents may be greater than the requested
271 length.
272 @param vec an array of one or more evbuffer_iovec structures to
273 hold pointers to the reserved extents of memory.
274 @param n_vec The length of the vec array. Must be at least 1;
275 2 is more efficient.
276 @return the number of provided extents, or -1 on error.
277 @see evbuffer_commit_space()
280 evbuffer_reserve_space(struct evbuffer *buf, ev_ssize_t size,
281 struct evbuffer_iovec *vec, int n_vec);
284 Commits previously reserved space.
286 Commits some of the space previously reserved with
287 evbuffer_reserve_space(). It then becomes available for reading.
289 This function may return an error if the pointer in the extents do
290 not match those returned from evbuffer_reserve_space, or if data
291 has been added to the buffer since the space was reserved.
293 If you want to commit less data than you got reserved space for,
294 modify the iov_len pointer of the appropriate extent to a smaller
295 value. Note that you may have received more space than you
296 requested if it was available!
298 @param buf the evbuffer in which to reserve space.

313 @return 0 on success, -1 on failure.

322 only extract as many bytes as were available.

327 @return the number of bytes read, or -1 if we can't drain the buffer.
329 int evbuffer_remove(struct evbuffer *buf, void *data, size_t datlen);
332 Read data from an evbuffer, and leave the buffer unchanged.
334 If more bytes are requested than are available in the evbuffer, we
335 only extract as many bytes as were available.

342 ev_ssize_t evbuffer_copyout(struct evbuffer *buf, void *data_out, size_t datlen);
345 Read data from an evbuffer into another evbuffer, draining
346 the bytes from the source buffer. This function avoids copy
347 operations to the extent possible.
349 If more bytes are requested than are available in src, the src
