buffer: Generic Byte-Buffer Structure and Function Library

This byte-buffer structure provides an easy and efficient way to store and process a stream of bytes.  You can create as many buffers as you like (within memory limits), and then use this common set of functions to access each buffer.  The buffers are designed for FIFO  operation (first in, first out).  This means that the first byte you put in the buffer will be the first one you get when you read out the buffer.  Supported functions include buffer initialize, get byte from front of buffer, add byte to end of buffer, check if buffer is full, and flush buffer.  The buffer uses a circular design so no copying of data is ever necessary. This buffer is not dynamically allocated, it has a user-defined fixed maximum size.  This buffer is used in many places in the avrlib code.
