NAME

       vrb_write_min - write data from a VRB

LIBRARY

       -lvrb

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vrb.h>

       size_t vrb_write_min(vrb_p vrb, int fd, size_t maxsize, size_t minsize);

DESCRIPTION

       vrb_write_min  writes  a  minimum  amount of data to a specified open file descriptor using write(2) from the specified virtual ring buffer
       until the specified maximum length has been written, the buffer is full, or an error is returned (including EAGAIN  or  EWOULDBLOCK  for  a
       non-blocking descriptor).  If there is insufficient data in the buffer to write the minimum amount, then write(2) will not be called.

ARGUMENTS

       vrb_p vrb
       specifies which virtual ring buffer.

       int fd
       specifies the open file descriptor to write to

       size_t maxsize
       specifies the maximum length to write, or ~0 for unlimited.

       size_t minsize
       specifies the minimum length to write.

RETURN VALUE

       size_t
       If  successful, the actual length of data written from the buffer is returned.  If the minimum amount of data was not available to be writ-
       ten, 0 is returned.  If an error occurs from write(2), the return value is ~0 and errno is set by write(2).

ERRORS

       If an error is returned, then errno will have one of the following values:

       0      An end-of-file has occurred.  Note that this is a different way of returning an end-of-file condition than write(2) uses.

       EINVAL An invalid virtual ring buffer pointer was specified.

NAME

       vrb_new - create a new virtual ring buffer

LIBRARY

       -lvrb

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vrb.h>

       vrb_p vrb_new(size_t size, const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

       vrb_new creates a new instance of a virtual ring buffer.

       A  virtual ring buffer is a character FIFO queue with the special property that any sequence of characters in the buffer may be accessed as
       a single contiguous block of memory, eliminating the need to split any sequence to handle a buffer wraparound.

ARGUMENTS

       size_t size
       specifies the requested minimum buffer size to be allocated.  The given value will be rounded up to the nearest or equal whole multiple	of
       the  system  page  size.  The virtual ring buffer is implemented by mapping two adjacent blocks of memory to the same memory object.  Thus,
       twice as much virtual address space will be used and the specified size must be less than half of the available virtual address	space  for
       this process.

       const char *name
       specifies an optional temporary name pattern or an actual name of a file to be used as backing store via mmap(2) in a mounted filesystem in
       which the process has write permission.	If the name string ends in "XXXXXX" then mkstemp(3) will be used to make the file unique.   Other-
       wise  it  will  be  used as is.	If the named file already exists or otherwise cannot be opened for write, an error will occur.	If NULL is
       given, swap space will be used as backing store via shmat(2).

RETURN VALUE

       vrb_p
       On success, a handle (pointer) to the newly created virtual ring buffer is returned.  On error, NULL is returned.

ERRORS

       If an error is returned, then errno will have one of the following values:

       EINVAL A buffer size was requested which is too large for address space allocation arithmetic.

       ENOMEM Out of memory allocating the virtual ring buffer structure.

       -      An errno value set by a failing system call.
