.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
functions provide a lock-less multi-producer and lock-less multi-consumer as
well as single-consumer ring buffer.
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_alloc
function is used to allocate a buf_ring ring buffer with
.Fa count
slots using malloc_type
.Fa type
and memory flags
.Fa flags .
The single consumer interface is protected by
.Fa sc_lock .
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_free
function is used to free a buf_ring.
The user is responsible for freeing any enqueued items.
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_enqueue
function is used to enqueue a buffer to a buf_ring.
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_enqueue_bytes
function is used to enqueue a buffer to a buf_ring and increment the
number of bytes enqueued by
.Fa bytes .
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_dequeue_mc
function is a multi-consumer safe way of dequeueing elements from a buf_ring.
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_dequeue_sc
function is a single-consumer interface to dequeue elements - requiring
the user to serialize accesses with a lock.
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_count
function returns the number of elements in a buf_ring.
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_empty
function returns
.Dv TRUE
if the buf_ring is empty,
.Dv FALSE
otherwise.
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_full
function returns
.Dv TRUE
if no more items can be enqueued,
.Dv FALSE
otherwise.
.Pp
The
.Fn buf_ring_peek
function returns a pointer to the last element in the buf_ring if the
buf_ring is not empty,
.Dv NULL
otherwise.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn buf_ring_enqueue
and
.Fn buf_ring_enqueue_bytes
functions return
.Er ENOBUFS
if there are no available slots in the buf_ring.
.Sh HISTORY
These functions were introduced in
.Fx 8.0 .
