mbuf_prepend

Declaration

errno_t mbuf_prepend(mbuf_t *mbuf, size_t len, mbuf_how_t how);

Parameters

• mbuf:

  The mbuf to prepend data to. This may change if a new mbuf must be allocated or may be NULL if the operation fails.

• len:

  The length, in bytes, to be prepended to the mbuf.

• how:

  Blocking or non-blocking.

Return Value

0 upon success otherwise the errno error.

Discussion

Prepend len bytes to an mbuf. If there is space (mbuf_leadingspace >= len), the mbuf's data ptr is changed and the same mbuf is returned. If there is no space, a new mbuf may be allocated and prepended to the mbuf chain. If the operation fails, the mbuf may be freed (*mbuf will be NULL).
