Module io_buffers

Types for I/O buffers.

This module provides:

• buffer types that can be allocated with arbitrary alignment,
• references to buffers that more or less ensure the content is read only once (because it can change for buffers owned by VM guests),
• buffer vector types.

Macros

impl_io_vector 🔒

Implement most of both IoVector and IoVectorMut.

Structs

IoBuffer

Owned memory buffer.

IoBufferMut

Reference to any mutable memory buffer.

IoBufferRef

Reference to any immutable memory buffer.

IoVector

Vector of memory buffers.

IoVectorMut

Vector of memory buffers.

VolatileSliceGuard

Ensures an I/O vector’s validity when created from [VolatileSlice].

Traits
