13Digital TV Ring buffer
14~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

16Those routines implement ring buffers used to handle digital TV data and
17copy it from/to userspace.

19.. note::
20
21  1) For performance reasons read and write routines don't check buffer sizes
22     and/or number of bytes free/available. This has to be done before these
23     routines are called. For example:
24
25   .. code-block:: c
26
27        /* write @buflen: bytes */
28        free = dvb_ringbuffer_free(rbuf);
29        if (free >= buflen)
30                count = dvb_ringbuffer_write(rbuf, buffer, buflen);
31        else
32                /* do something */
33
34        /* read min. 1000, max. @bufsize: bytes */
35        avail = dvb_ringbuffer_avail(rbuf);
36        if (avail >= 1000)
37                count = dvb_ringbuffer_read(rbuf, buffer, min(avail, bufsize));
38        else
39                /* do something */
40
41  2) If there is exactly one reader and one writer, there is no need
42     to lock read or write operations.
43     Two or more readers must be locked against each other.
44     Flushing the buffer counts as a read operation.
45     Resetting the buffer counts as a read and write operation.
46     Two or more writers must be locked against each other.
