常用接口

• 增
• // 将数据data添加到buffer里，没有空余的buffer会申请新的内存，同时会将buffer的索引赋值给buffer_index，方便后续用于访问
  int vlib_buffer_add_data (vlib_main_t * vm, vlib_buffer_free_list_index_t free_list_index, u32 * buffer_index, void *data,u32 n_data_bytes);
• 删
• always_inline void
  vlib_buffer_free (vlib_main_t * vm,
  /* pointer to first buffer */
  u32 * buffers,
  /* number of buffers to free */
  u32 n_buffers);
• 改
• // 通过移动buffer的current_data指针来取数据或者添加数据，并同时修改buffer的current_length值
  // 一般l为正数表示往前读取数据，当然也可以进行修改
  // 一般l为负数表示往后添加数据
  always_inline void vlib_buffer_advance (vlib_buffer_t * b, word l);
• 查
• // vm是vpp运行时主结构体，buffer_index是buffer的索引，一般在添加buffer时可以获取到，或者遍历buffer时获取
  always_inline vlib_buffer_t *vlib_get_buffer (vlib_main_t * vm, u32 buffer_index);
  
  // 获取当前数据所在的指针位置，一般用于对buffer进行指针偏移后使用
  always_inline void *vlib_buffer_get_current (vlib_buffer_t * b);
