nginx----ngx_buf

在ngx_buf.h文件中，定义了ngx_chain_t和ngx_buf_t两个结构体。其中chain起到一个链的作用，将待发送的数据包串联起来，而buf则是chain中的每一个节点。

ngx_buf_t的数据结构如下：

struct ngx_buf_s {
    u_char          *pos;
    u_char          *last;
    off_t            file_pos;
    off_t            file_last;

    u_char          *start;         /* start of buffer */
    u_char          *end;           /* end of buffer */
    ngx_buf_tag_t    tag;
    ngx_file_t      *file;
    ngx_buf_t       *shadow;


    /* the buf's content could be changed */
    unsigned         temporary:1;

    /*
     * the buf's content is in a memory cache or in a read only memory
     * and must not be changed
     */
    unsigned         memory:1;

    /* the buf's content is mmap()ed and must not be changed */
    unsigned         mmap:1;

    unsigned         recycled:1;
    unsigned         in_file:1;
    unsigned         flush:1;
    unsigned         sync:1;
