.SH "Detailed Description"
|
|
.PP
|
|
Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving\&.
|
|
|
|
An evbuffer can be used for preparing data before sending it to the network or conversely for reading data from the network\&. Evbuffers try to avoid memory copies as much as possible\&. As a result, evbuffers can be used to pass data around without actually incurring the overhead of copying the data\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A new evbuffer can be allocated with \fBevbuffer_new()\fP, and can be freed with \fBevbuffer_free()\fP\&. Most users will be using evbuffers via the bufferevent interface\&. To access a bufferevent's evbuffers, use \fBbufferevent_get_input()\fP and \fBbufferevent_get_output()\fP\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
There are several guidelines for using evbuffers\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 2
|
|
if you already know how much data you are going to add as a result of calling \fBevbuffer_add()\fP multiple times, it makes sense to use \fBevbuffer_expand()\fP first to make sure that enough memory is allocated before hand\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.PP
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 2
|
|
\fBevbuffer_add_buffer()\fP adds the contents of one buffer to the other without incurring any unnecessary memory copies\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.PP
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 2
|
|
\fBevbuffer_add()\fP and \fBevbuffer_add_buffer()\fP do not mix very well: if you use them, you will wind up with fragmented memory in your buffer\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.PP
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 2
|
|
For high-performance code, you may want to avoid copying data into and out of buffers\&. You can skip the copy step by using \fBevbuffer_reserve_space()\fP/evbuffer_commit_space() when writing into a buffer, and \fBevbuffer_peek()\fP when reading\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.PP
|
|
In Libevent 2\&.0 and later, evbuffers are represented using a linked list of memory chunks, with pointers to the first and last chunk in the chain\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
As the contents of an evbuffer can be stored in multiple different memory blocks, it cannot be accessed directly\&. Instead, \fBevbuffer_pullup()\fP can be used to force a specified number of bytes to be contiguous\&. This will cause memory reallocation and memory copies if the data is split across multiple blocks\&. It is more efficient, however, to use \fBevbuffer_peek()\fP if you don't require that the memory to be contiguous\&.

If this flag is set, then we will not use \fBevbuffer_peek()\fP, \fBevbuffer_remove()\fP, \fBevbuffer_remove_buffer()\fP, and so on to read bytes from this buffer: we'll only take bytes out of this buffer by writing them to the network (as with evbuffer_write_atmost), by removing them without observing them (as with evbuffer_drain), or by copying them all out at once (as with evbuffer_add_buffer)\&. Using this option allows the implementation to use sendfile-based operations for \fBevbuffer_add_file()\fP; see that function for more information\&.

This flag is on by default for bufferevents that can take advantage of it; you should never actually need to set it on a bufferevent's output buffer\&.

Type definition for a callback that is invoked whenever data is added or removed from an evbuffer\&. An evbuffer may have one or more callbacks set at a time\&. The order in which they are executed is undefined\&.

|
|
A callback function may add more callbacks, or remove itself from the list of callbacks, or add or remove data from the buffer\&. It may not remove another callback from the list\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If a callback adds or removes data from the buffer or from another buffer, this can cause a recursive invocation of your callback or other callbacks\&. If you ask for an infinite loop, you might just get one: watch out!

.PP

Reserves space in the last chain or chains of an evbuffer\&. Makes space available in the last chain or chains of an evbuffer that can be arbitrarily written to by a user\&. The space does not become available for reading until it has been committed with \fBevbuffer_commit_space()\fP\&.

The space is made available as one or more extents, represented by an initial pointer and a length\&. You can force the memory to be available as only one extent\&. Allowing more extents, however, makes the function more efficient\&.
