# @device: the ring buffer character device name
#
# @data: data to write
#
# @format: data encoding (default 'utf8').
#
#     - base64: data must be base64 encoded text.  Its binary decoding
#       gets written.

#     - data itself is always Unicode regardless of format, like any

# Read from a ring buffer character device.

# @size: how many bytes to read at most
#
# @format: data encoding (default 'utf8').
#
#     - base64: the data read is returned in base64 encoding.
#     - utf8: the data read is interpreted as UTF-8.
#       Bug: can screw up when the buffer contains invalid UTF-8
#       sequences, NUL characters, after the ring buffer lost data,
#       and when reading stops because the size limit is reached.
