Functions

uint8_t lwrb_init(lwrb_t *buff, void *buffdata, size_t size)

Initialize buffer handle to default values with size and buffer data array.

Parameters

  • buff – [in] Buffer handle

  • buffdata – [in] Pointer to memory to use as buffer data

  • size – [in] Size of buffdata in units of bytes Maximum number of bytes buffer can hold is size - 1

Returns

1 on success, 0 otherwise

uint8_t lwrb_is_ready(lwrb_t *buff)

Check if buff is initialized and ready to use.

Parameters

buff – [in] Buffer handle

Returns

1 if ready, 0 otherwise

void lwrb_free(lwrb_t *buff)

Free buffer memory.

Note

Since implementation does not use dynamic allocation, it just sets buffer handle to NULL

Parameters

buff – [in] Buffer handle

void lwrb_reset(lwrb_t *buff)

Resets buffer to default values. Buffer size is not modified.

Note

This function is not thread safe. When used, application must ensure there is no active read/write operation

Parameters

buff – [in] Buffer handle

void lwrb_set_evt_fn(lwrb_t *buff, lwrb_evt_fn fn)

Set event function callback for different buffer operations.

Parameters

  • buff – [in] Buffer handle

  • evt_fn – [in] Callback function

size_t lwrb_write(lwrb_t *buff, const void *data, size_t btw)

Write data to buffer. Copies data from data array to buffer and marks buffer as full for maximum btw number of bytes.

Parameters

  • buff – [in] Buffer handle

  • data – [in] Pointer to data to write into buffer

  • btw – [in] Number of bytes to write

Returns

Number of bytes written to buffer. When returned value is less than btw, there was no enough memory available to copy full data array

size_t lwrb_read(lwrb_t *buff, void *data, size_t btr)

Read data from buffer. Copies data from buffer to data array and marks buffer as free for maximum btr number of bytes.

Parameters

  • buff – [in] Buffer handle

  • data – [out] Pointer to output memory to copy buffer data to

  • btr – [in] Number of bytes to read

Returns

Number of bytes read and copied to data array

size_t lwrb_peek(const lwrb_t *buff, size_t skip_count, void *data, size_t btp)

Read from buffer without changing read pointer (peek only)

Parameters

  • buff – [in] Buffer handle

  • skip_count – [in] Number of bytes to skip before reading data

  • data – [out] Pointer to output memory to copy buffer data to

  • btp – [in] Number of bytes to peek

Returns

Number of bytes peeked and written to output array

size_t lwrb_get_free(const lwrb_t *buff)

Get available size in buffer for write operation.

Parameters

buff – [in] Buffer handle

Returns

Number of free bytes in memory

size_t lwrb_get_full(const lwrb_t *buff)

Get number of bytes currently available in buffer.

Parameters

buff – [in] Buffer handle

Returns

Number of bytes ready to be read

void *lwrb_get_linear_block_read_address(const lwrb_t *buff)

Get linear address for buffer for fast read.

Parameters

buff – [in] Buffer handle

Returns

Linear buffer start address

size_t lwrb_get_linear_block_read_length(const lwrb_t *buff)

Get length of linear block address before it overflows for read operation.

Parameters

buff – [in] Buffer handle

Returns

Linear buffer size in units of bytes for read operation

size_t lwrb_skip(lwrb_t *buff, size_t len)

Skip (ignore; advance read pointer) buffer data Marks data as read in the buffer and increases free memory for up to len bytes.

Note

Useful at the end of streaming transfer such as DMA

Parameters

  • buff – [in] Buffer handle

  • len – [in] Number of bytes to skip and mark as read

Returns

Number of bytes skipped

void *lwrb_get_linear_block_write_address(const lwrb_t *buff)

Get linear address for buffer for fast read.

Parameters

buff – [in] Buffer handle

Returns

Linear buffer start address

size_t lwrb_get_linear_block_write_length(const lwrb_t *buff)

Get length of linear block address before it overflows for write operation.

Parameters

buff – [in] Buffer handle

Returns

Linear buffer size in units of bytes for write operation

size_t lwrb_advance(lwrb_t *buff, size_t len)

Advance write pointer in the buffer. Similar to skip function but modifies write pointer instead of read.

Note

Useful when hardware is writing to buffer and application needs to increase number of bytes written to buffer by hardware

Parameters

  • buff – [in] Buffer handle

  • len – [in] Number of bytes to advance

Returns

Number of bytes advanced for write operation

uint8_t lwrb_find(const lwrb_t *buff, const void *bts, size_t len, size_t start_offset, size_t *found_idx)

Searches for a needle in an array, starting from given offset.

Note

This function is not thread-safe.

Parameters

  • buff – Ring buffer to search for needle in

  • bts – Constant byte array sequence to search for in a buffer

  • len – Length of the

    • bts array

  • start_offset – Start offset in the buffer

  • found_idx – Pointer to variable to write index in array where bts has been found Must not be set to NULL

Returns

1 if

  • bts found, 0 otherwise

size_t lwrb_overwrite(lwrb_t *buff, const void *data, size_t btw)

Writes data to buffer with overwrite function, if no enough space to hold complete input data object.

Note

Similar to lwrb_write but overwrites

Note

Functionality is primary two parts, always writes some linear region, then writes the wrap region if there is more data to write. The r indicator is advanced if w overtakes it. This operation is a read op as well as a write op. For thread-safety mutexes may be desired, see documentation.

Parameters

  • buff – [in] Buffer handle

  • data – [in] Data to write to ring buffer

  • btw – [in] Bytes To Write, length

Returns

Number of bytes written to buffer, will always return btw

size_t lwrb_move(lwrb_t *dest, lwrb_t *src)

Move one ring buffer to another, up to the amount of data in the source, or amount of data free in the destination.

Note

This operation is a read op to the source, on success it will update the r index. As well as a write op to the destination, and may update the w index. For thread-safety mutexes may be desired, see documentation.

Parameters

  • dest – [in] Buffer handle that the copied data will be written to

  • src – [in] Buffer handle that the copied data will come from. Source buffer will be effectively read upon operation.

Returns

Number of bytes written to destination buffer

struct lwrb_t
#include <lwrb.h>
