Detailed Description

#include "buffer.h"

Overview: This byte-buffer structure provides an easy and efficient way to store and process a stream of bytes.� You can create as many buffers as you like (within memory limits), and then use this common set of functions to access each buffer.� The buffers are designed for FIFO�operation (first in, first out).� This means that the first byte you put in the buffer will be the first one you get when you read out the buffer.� Supported functions include buffer initialize, get byte from front of buffer, add byte to end of buffer, check if buffer is full, and flush buffer.� The buffer uses a circular design so no copying of data is ever necessary. This buffer is not dynamically allocated, it has a user-defined fixed maximum size.� This buffer is used in many places in the avrlib code.
