buffer_getn(3) Library Functions Manual buffer_getn(3)NAMEbuffer_getn - read binary data from bufferSYNTAX#include <buffer.h> ssize_t buffer_getn(buffer* b,char* x,size_t len);DESCRIPTIONbuffer_getn copies data to x[0], x[1], ..., x[len-1] from the buffer, calling buffer_feed as needed, and returns len. If a read error occurs, buffer_getn returns -1 and sets errno appropriately. It may then have put any number between 0 and len in the buf- fer, you can't tell. That makes this function only useful if you don't care when an error occurs. Use buffer_get otherwise. If the read operation signals end-of-file before len bytes were read, buffer_getn returns the number of bytes read from the buffer before end-of-file.SEE ALSObuffer_init(3), buffer_get(3), buffer(3) buffer_getn(3)
