NAME

       vrb_give - create a new virtual ring buffer

LIBRARY

       -lvrb

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vrb.h>

       vrb_p vrb_give(vrb_p vrb, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION

       vrb_give specifies how much data has been placed into the empty portion of the virtual ring buffer by the caller.

       The  caller  will have called vrb_empty_len(3) and vrb_empty_ptr(3) to get the length of empty space in the buffer and a pointer to it, and
       having placed some data into that space, starting from the pointer obtained and placing no more that the length obtained.

ARGUMENTS

       vrb_p vrb
       specifies which virtual ring buffer.

       size_t size
       specifies the length of data that has been placed into the virtual ring buffer empty space by the caller.

RETURN VALUE

       int
       On success, 0 is returned.  On error, -1 is returned.

ERRORS

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

       EINVAL An invalid virtual ring buffer pointer was specified.

       ENOSPC The specified length is greater than the empty space in the virtual ring buffer.
