Data Fields
pbuf Struct Reference

`#include <pbuf.h>`

## Data Fields
struct pbuf * | next
void * | payload
u16_t | tot_len
u16_t | len
u8_t | type_internal
u8_t | flags
u8_t | ref
u8_t | if_idx

## Detailed Description

Main packet buffer struct

## Field Documentation

## ◆ flags

u8_t pbuf::flags

misc flags

## ◆ if_idx

u8_t pbuf::if_idx

For incoming packets, this contains the input netif's index

## ◆ len

u16_t pbuf::len

length of this buffer

## ◆ next

struct pbuf* pbuf::next

next pbuf in singly linked pbuf chain

## ◆ payload

void* pbuf::payload

pointer to the actual data in the buffer

## ◆ ref

u8_t pbuf::ref

the reference count always equals the number of pointers that refer to this pbuf. This can be pointers from an application, the stack itself, or pbuf->next pointers from a chain.

## ◆ tot_len

u16_t pbuf::tot_len

total length of this buffer and all next buffers in chain belonging to the same packet.

For non-queue packet chains this is the invariant: p->tot_len == p->len + (p->next? p->next->tot_len: 0)

## ◆ type_internal

u8_t pbuf::type_internal

a bit field indicating pbuf type and allocation sources (see PBUF_TYPE_FLAG_*, PBUF_ALLOC_FLAG_* and PBUF_TYPE_ALLOC_SRC_MASK)
