25 /** \defgroup lws_ring LWS Ringbuffer APIs
26  * ##lws_ring: generic ringbuffer struct
27  *
28  * Provides an abstract ringbuffer api supporting one head and one or an
29  * unlimited number of tails.
30  *
31  * All of the members are opaque and manipulated by lws_ring_...() apis.
32  *
33  * The lws_ring and its buffer is allocated at runtime on the heap, using
34  *
35  *  - lws_ring_create()
36  *  - lws_ring_destroy()
37  *
38  * It may contain any type, the size of the "element" stored in the ring
39  * buffer and the number of elements is given at creation time.
40  *
41  * When you create the ringbuffer, you can optionally provide an element
42  * destroy callback that frees any allocations inside the element.  This is then
43  * automatically called for elements with no tail behind them, ie, elements
44  * which don't have any pending consumer are auto-freed.
45  *
46  * Whole elements may be inserted into the ringbuffer and removed from it, using
47  *
48  *  - lws_ring_insert()
49  *  - lws_ring_consume()
50  *
51  * You can find out how many whole elements are free or waiting using
52  *
53  *  - lws_ring_get_count_free_elements()
54  *  - lws_ring_get_count_waiting_elements()
55  *
56  * In addition there are special purpose optional byte-centric apis
57  *
58  *  - lws_ring_next_linear_insert_range()
59  *  - lws_ring_bump_head()
60  *
61  *  which let you, eg, read() directly into the ringbuffer without needing
62  *  an intermediate bounce buffer.
63  *
64  *  The accessors understand that the ring wraps, and optimizes insertion and
65  *  consumption into one or two memcpy()s depending on if the head or tail
66  *  wraps.
67  *
68  *  lws_ring only supports a single head, but optionally multiple tails with
69  *  an API to inform it when the "oldest" tail has moved on.  You can give
70  *  NULL where-ever an api asks for a tail pointer, and it will use an internal
71  *  single tail pointer for convenience.
72  *
73  *  The "oldest tail", which is the only tail if you give it NULL instead of
74  *  some other tail, is used to track which elements in the ringbuffer are
75  *  still unread by anyone.
76  *
77  *   - lws_ring_update_oldest_tail()
