Constructor &; Destructor Documentation
   ost::FixedBuffer::FixedBuffer (size_tcapacity, size_tobjsize)
       Create a buffer of known capacity for objects of a specified size. Parameters:
	   capacity of the buffer.
	   objsize for each object held in the buffer.

   ost::FixedBuffer::FixedBuffer (const FixedBuffer &fb)
       Create a copy of an existing fixed size buffer and duplicate it's contents. Parameters:
	   fb existing FixedBuffer object.

   virtual ost::FixedBuffer::~FixedBuffer () [virtual]
       Destroy the fixed buffer and free the memory used to store objects.

Member Function Documentation
   bool ost::FixedBuffer::isValid (void) [virtual]
       Reimplemented from ost::Buffer.

   size_t ost::FixedBuffer::onPeek (void *buf) [protected],  [virtual]
       Return the first object in the buffer. Returns:
	   predefined size of this buffers objects.

       Parameters:
	   buf pointer to copy contents of head of buffer to.

       Implements ost::Buffer.

   size_t ost::FixedBuffer::onPost (void *buf) [protected],  [virtual]
       Post an object of the appropriate size into the buffer. Returns:
	   predefined size of this buffers objects.

       Parameters:
	   buf pointer to data to copy into the buffer.

       Implements ost::Buffer.

   size_t ost::FixedBuffer::onWait (void *buf) [protected],  [virtual]
       Wait for and return a fixed object in the buffer. Returns:
	   predefined size of this buffers objects.

       Parameters:
	   buf pointer to hold object returned from the buffer.

       Implements ost::Buffer.
