buffer_flush(3) 	    Library Functions Manual		 buffer_flush(3)

NAME
     buffer_flush - feed buffer to write function

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/buffer.h>

     int buffer_flush(buffer* b);

DESCRIPTION
     buffer_flush  feeds a string d[0], d[1], ..., d[dlen-1] to the write opera-
     tion by calling

       op(fd,d,dlen)

     If op successfully handles one or	more  bytes  at  the  beginning  of  the
     string,  it  must	return	the  number  of bytes handled; if this number is
     smaller than dlen, buffer_flush will call op again with  the  rest  of  the
     string.  If  op does not handle any bytes, and does not encounter an error,
     it must return 0, or return -1 with errno set to  EINTR;  in  either  case,
     buffer_flush  will immediately call op again. If op encounters an error, it
     must return -1 with errno set to something other than  EINTR;  buffer_flush
     will pass the error to the caller.

     On success, buffer_flush returns 0. On error, buffer_flush returns -1, set-
     ting errno appropriately.
