>DESCRIPTION</H2
><P
>These functions provide bounds checked access to a region of memory
where data is being read or written.
They are based on, and similar to, the
<VAR
CLASS="LITERAL"
>isc_buffer_</VAR
>
functions in the ISC library.</P
><P
>A buffer is a region of memory, together with a set of related
subregions.
The <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>used region</I
></SPAN
> and the
<SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>available</I
></SPAN
> region are disjoint, and
their union is the buffer's region.
The used region extends from the beginning of the buffer region to the
last used byte.
The available region extends from one byte greater than the last used
byte to the end of the buffer's region.
The size of the used region can be changed using various
buffer commands.
Initially, the used region is empty.</P
><P
>The used region is further subdivided into two disjoint regions: the
<SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>consumed region</I
></SPAN
> and the <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>remaining region</I
></SPAN
>.
The union of these two regions is the used region.
The consumed region extends from the beginning of the used region to
the byte before the <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>current</I
></SPAN
> offset (if any).
The <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>remaining</I
></SPAN
> region the current pointer to the end of the used
region.
The size of the consumed region can be changed using various
buffer commands.
Initially, the consumed region is empty.</P
><P
>The <SPAN
CLASS="emphasis"
><I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>active region</I
></SPAN
> is an (optional) subregion of the remaining
region.
It extends from the current offset to an offset in the
remaining region.
Initially, the active region is empty.
If the current offset advances beyond the chosen offset,
the active region will also be empty.</P

Similarly,

decreases buffer

consumed region by

><CODE

are identical to

except that they respectively read an unsigned 16-bit or 32-bit integer
in network byte order from
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"

Similarly,
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_buffer_putuint16()</CODE
>
and
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_buffer_putuint32()</CODE
>
writes the unsigned 16-bit or 32-bit integer
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"

>
to buffer
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>b</VAR

in network byte order.</P
