This module provides routines for creating pools * of buffers for exchange of network data, getting and returning buffers * from and to the pool, and some other utility functions. *

* Currently, the pool has 2 underlying implementations - one for the vxWorks * OS, and another which attempts to be OS-agnostic so that it can be used on * other OS's such as Linux. The API is largely the same for all OS's, * but there are some differences to be aware of. These are documented * in the API descriptions below. *

* The most significant difference is this: when this module is used with * the WindRiver VxWorks OS, it will create a pool of vxWorks "MBufs". * These can be used directly with the vxWorks "netBufLib" OS Library. * For other OS's, it will create a pool of generic buffers. These may need * to be converted into other buffer types (sk_buff's in Linux, for example) * before being used with any built-in OS routines available for * manipulating network data buffers. * * @sa IxOsBuffMgt.h */ #ifndef IXOSBUFFPOOLMGT_H #define IXOSBUFFPOOLMGT_H #include "IxOsalBackward.h" #endif /* IXOSBUFFPOOLMGT_H */
