size_t file_initbuf

(autofile* af, size_t s)

Allocate a buffer of the given size.

Documentation

Allocate a buffer of the given size.

Parameters:

af - Autofile to create the buffer in. Only one buffer is allowed.
- s Number of bytes. Most programs can get away with a few kiloytes. Bigger buffers tend to get written from an operating system's cache quicker, but it's still no guarantee. Larger buffers mean more efficient read operations, though.
