.Sh DESCRIPTION
The ibuf API defines functions to manipulate buffers, used for example to
construct imsgs with
.Xr imsg_create 3 .
A
.Vt struct ibuf
is a single buffer.
It has a maximum size, a read and a write position.
Buffers should be either constructed with the various
.Fn ibuf_add
and
.Fn ibuf_set
functions or consumed with the various
.Fn ibuf_get
functions.
A
.Vt struct msgbuf
is used to queue the output buffers for transmission.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_add
appends a block of data to
.Fa buf .
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_add_ibuf
appends the buffer
.Fa from
to
.Fa buf .
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_add_h16 ,
.Fn ibuf_add_h32 ,
and
.Fn ibuf_add_h64
add a 2-byte, 4-byte, and 8-byte
.Fa value
to
.Fa buf
in host byte order.
This function checks
.Fa value
to not overflow.
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_add_n8 ,
.Fn ibuf_add_n16 ,
.Fn ibuf_add_n32 ,
and
.Fn ibuf_add_n64
add a 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte, and 8-byte
.Fa value
to
.Fa buf
in network byte order.
This function checks
.Fa value
to not overflow.
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_add_zero
appends a block of zeros to
.Fa buf .
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_close
appends
.Fa buf
to
.Fa msgbuf
ready to be sent.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_data
returns the pointer to the internal buffer.
This function should only be used together with
.Fn ibuf_size
to process a previously generated buffer.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_dynamic
allocates a resizeable buffer of initial length
.Fa len
and maximum size
.Fa max .
Buffers allocated with
.Fn ibuf_dynamic
are automatically grown if necessary when data is added.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_fd_avail ,
.Fn ibuf_fd_get
and
.Fn ibuf_fd_set
are functions to check, get and set the file descriptor assigned to
.Fa buf .
After calling
.Fn ibuf_fd_set
the file descriptor is part of the
.Fa buf
and will be transmitted or closed by the ibuf API.
Any previously set file descriptor will be closed before assigning a
new descriptor.
.Fn ibuf_fd_get
returns the file descriptor and passes the responsibility to track the
descriptor back to the program.
.Fn ibuf_fd_avail
returns true if there is a file descriptor set on
.Fa buf .
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_free
frees
.Fa buf
and any associated storage, and closes any file descriptor set with
.Fn ibuf_fd_set .
If
.Fa buf
is a NULL pointer, no action occurs.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_from_buffer
initializes the passed
.Fa buf
to point at
.Fa data
and spanning
.Fa len
bytes.
The returned buffer can be read using the various
.Fn ibuf_get
functions .
.Fn ibuf_from_ibuf
duplicates the
.Fa from
ibuf into
.Fa buf
without modifying
.Fa from .
This allows safely peeking into an ibuf without consuming data.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_get
consumes a block of data from
.Fa buf
spanning
.Fa len
bytes.
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_get_ibuf
consumes
.Fa len
bytes from the buffer
.Fa buf
and returns it in
.Fa new
covering this region.
The data in this buffer is only valid as long as
.Fa buf
remains valid .
There is no need to deallocate
.Fa new
using
.Fn ibuf_free .
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_get_h16 ,
.Fn ibuf_get_h32 ,
and
.Fn ibuf_get_h64
get a 2-byte, 4-byte, and 8-byte
.Fa value
from
.Fa buf
without altering byte order.
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_get_n8 ,
.Fn ibuf_get_n16 ,
.Fn ibuf_get_n32 ,
and
.Fn ibuf_get_n64
get a 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte, and 8-byte
.Fa value
from
.Fa buf
converting the value from network to host byte order.
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
The
.Fn ibuf_open
function allocates a fixed-length buffer.
The buffer may not be resized and may contain a maximum of
.Fa len
bytes.
On success
.Fn ibuf_open
returns a pointer to the buffer; on failure it returns NULL.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_reserve
is used to reserve
.Fa len
bytes in
.Fa buf .
A pointer to the start of the reserved space is returned, or NULL on error.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_rewind
resets the read offset to the start of the buffer.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_seek
returns a pointer to the part of the buffer at offset
.Fa pos
and of extent
.Fa len .
NULL is returned if the requested range is outside the part of the buffer
in use.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_set
replaces a part of
.Fa buf
at offset
.Fa pos
with the
.Fa data
of extent
.Fa len .
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_set_h16 ,
.Fn ibuf_set_h32
and
.Fn ibuf_set_h64
replace a 2-byte, 4-byte or 8-byte
.Fa value
at offset
.Fa pos
in the buffer
.Fa buf
in host byte order.
This function checks
.Fa value
to not overflow.
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_set_n8 ,
.Fn ibuf_set_n16 ,
.Fn ibuf_set_n32
and
.Fn ibuf_set_n64
replace a 1-byte, 2-byte, 4-byte or 8-byte
.Fa value
at offset
.Fa pos
in the buffer
.Fa buf
in network byte order.
This function checks
.Fa value
to not overflow.
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_size
and
.Fn ibuf_left
are functions which return the total bytes used and available in
.Fa buf ,
respectively.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_skip
advances the read position in
.Fa buf
by
.Fa len
bytes.
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
.Fn ibuf_truncate
truncates the buffer to
.Fa len
bytes if necessary zero extending the buffer.
0 is returned on success and \-1 on failure.
.Pp
The
.Fn ibuf_write
routine transmits as many pending buffers as possible from
.Fa msgbuf
using
.Xr writev 2 .
It returns 1 if it succeeds, \-1 on error and 0 when no buffers were
pending or an EOF condition on the socket is detected.
Temporary resource shortages are returned with errno
.Er EAGAIN
and require the application to retry again in the future.
.Pp
The
.Fn msgbuf_init
function initializes
.Fa msgbuf
so that buffers may be appended to it.
The
.Fa fd
member should also be set directly before
.Fn msgbuf_write
is used.
.Pp
.Fn msgbuf_clear
empties a msgbuf, removing and discarding any queued buffers.
.Pp
.Fn msgbuf_queuelen
returns the number of messages queued in
.Fa msgbuf .
This function returns 0 if no messages are pending for transmission.
.Pp
The
.Fn msgbuf_write
routine calls
.Xr sendmsg 2
to transmit buffers queued in
.Fa msgbuf .
It returns 1 if it succeeds, \-1 on error, and 0 when the queue was empty
or an EOF condition on the socket is detected.
Temporary resource shortages are returned with errno
.Er EAGAIN
and require the application to retry again in the future.
