Function Documentation

◆ packetbuf_clear()

void packetbuf_clear ( void )

Clear and reset the packetbuf.

        This function clears the packetbuf and resets all
        internal state pointers (header size, header pointer,
        external data pointer). It is used before preparing a
        packet in the packetbuf.

◆ packetbuf_copyfrom()

int packetbuf_copyfrom	(	const void *	from,
		uint16_t	len )

Copy from external data into the packetbuf.

Parameters

from	A pointer to the data from which to copy
len	The size of the data to copy

Return values

The

number of bytes that was copied into the packetbuf

        This function copies data from a pointer into the
        packetbuf. If the data that is to be copied is larger
        than the packetbuf, only the data that fits in the
        packetbuf is copied. The number of bytes that could be
        copied into the rimbuf is returned.

References packetbuf_clear(), and PACKETBUF_SIZE.

◆ packetbuf_copyto()

int packetbuf_copyto ( void * to )

Copy the entire packetbuf to an external buffer.

Parameters

to	A pointer to the buffer to which the data is to be copied

Return values

The

number of bytes that was copied to the external buffer

        This function copies the packetbuf to an external
        buffer. Both the data portion and the header portion of
        the packetbuf is copied.

        The external buffer to which the packetbuf is to be
        copied must be able to accomodate at least
        PACKETBUF_SIZE bytes. The number of
        bytes that was copied to the external buffer is
        returned.

◆ packetbuf_datalen()

uint16_t packetbuf_datalen ( void )

Get the length of the data in the packetbuf.

Returns: Length of the data in the packetbuf

◆ packetbuf_dataptr()

void * packetbuf_dataptr ( void )

Get a pointer to the data in the packetbuf.

Returns

Pointer to the packetbuf data

        This function is used to get a pointer to the data in
        the packetbuf. The data is either stored in the packetbuf,
        or referenced to an external location.

◆ packetbuf_hdralloc()

int packetbuf_hdralloc ( int size )

Extend the header of the packetbuf, for outbound packets.

Parameters

size	The number of bytes the header should be extended

Return values

Non-zero

if the header could be extended, zero otherwise

        This function is used to allocate extra space in the
        header portion in the packetbuf, when preparing outbound
        packets for transmission. If the function is unable to
        allocate sufficient header space, the function returns
        zero and does not allocate anything.

Returns: Pointer to the packetbuf header

◆ packetbuf_hdrreduce()

int packetbuf_hdrreduce ( int size )

Reduce the header in the packetbuf, for incoming packets.

Parameters

size	The number of bytes the header should be reduced

Return values

Non-zero

if the header could be reduced, zero otherwise

        This function is used to remove the first part of the
        header in the packetbuf, when processing incoming
        packets. If the function is unable to remove the
        requested amount of header space, the function returns
        zero and does not allocate anything.

◆ packetbuf_holds_broadcast()

bool packetbuf_holds_broadcast ( void )

Return values
