.SH NAME
|
||||
buffer_get \- read binary data from buffer
|
||||
.SH SYNTAX
|
||||
.B #include <buffer.h>
|
||||
|
||||
int \fBbuffer_get\fP(buffer* \fIb\fR,char* \fIx\fR,unsigned int \fIlen\fR);
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
Normally buffer_get copies data to \fIx\fR[0], \fIx\fR[1], ...,
|
||||
\fIx\fR[\fIlen\fR-1] from the beginning of a string stored in
|
||||
preallocated space; removes these \fIlen\fR bytes from the string; and
|
||||
returns \fIlen\fR.
|
||||
|
||||
If, however, the string has fewer than \fIlen\fR (but more than 0)
|
||||
bytes, buffer_get copies only that many bytes, and returns that number.
|
||||
|
||||
If the string is empty, buffer_get first uses a \fBread operation\fR to
|
||||
feed data into the string. The \fBread operation\fR may indicate end of
|
||||
input, in which case buffer_get returns 0; or a read error, in which
|
||||
case buffer_get returns -1, setting \fIerrno\fR approporiately.
|
||||
|
||||
The preallocated space and the \fBread operation\fR are specified by
|
||||
\fIb\fR. You must initialize \fBb\fR using buffer_init before calling
|
||||
buffer_get (or use the pre-initialized buffer_0).
