buffer_get(3) Library Functions Manual buffer_get(3) NAME buffer_get - read binary data from buffer SYNTAX #include <libowfat/buffer.h> ssize_t buffer_get(buffer* b,char* x,size_t len); DESCRIPTION Normally buffer_get copies data to x[0], x[1], ..., x[len-1] from the beginning of a string stored in preallocated space; removes these len bytes from the string; and returns len. If, however, the string has fewer than len (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 read operation to feed data into the string. The read operation may indicate end of input, in which case buffer_get returns 0; or a read error, in which case buffer_get returns -1, setting errno appropriately. The preallocated space and the read operation are specified by b. You must initialize b using buffer_init before calling buffer_get (or use the pre-initialized buffer_0).
