vrb_resize(3) VRB Programmer's Manual vrb_resize(3)NAMEvrb_resize - create a new virtual ring bufferLIBRARY-lvrbSYNOPSIS#include <vrb.h> vrb_p vrb_resize(size_t size, const char *name);DESCRIPTIONvrb_resize changes the size of a virtual ring buffer if the data in the source buffer will fit in the requested space.ARGUMENTSvrb_p vrb specifies the ring buffer which will be resized. 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 name of a file to be used as backing store via mmap(2) in a mounted filesystem in which the process has write permis- sion. If the named file 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 VALUEint On success, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned.ERRORSIf an error is returned, then errno will have one of the following values: ENOSPC The data in the current virtual ring buffer will not fit into the requested space. 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.SEE ALSOvrb(3), vrb_capacity(3), vrb_data_len(3), vrb_data_ptr(3), vrb_destroy(3), vrb_get(3), vrb_get_min(3), vrb_give(3), vrb_init(3), vrb_init_opt(3), vrb_is_empty(3), vrb_is_full(3), vrb_is_not_empty(3), vrb_is_not_full(3), vrb_move(3), vrb_new(3), vrb_new_opt(3), vrb_put(3), vrb_put_all(3), vrb_read(3), vrb_read_min(3), vrb_space_len(3), vrb_space_ptr(3), vrb_take(3), vrb_uninit(3), vrb_write(3), vrb_write_min(3) vrb 2002-09-30 vrb_resize(3)
