buffer_t* bmm_buffer_alloc ( uint8_t size )

Allocates a buffer.

This function allocates a buffer and returns a pointer to the buffer. The same pointer should be used while freeing the buffer.User should call BMM_BUFFER_POINTER(buf) to get the pointer to buffer user area.

Parameters

size	size of buffer to be allocated.

Returns: pointer to the buffer allocated, NULL if buffer not available.

void bmm_buffer_free ( buffer_t * pbuffer )

Frees up a buffer.

This function frees up a buffer. The pointer passed to this function should be the pointer returned during buffer allocation. The result is unpredictable if an incorrect pointer is passed.

Parameters

pbuffer Pointer to buffer that has to be freed.
