Overview

Package bufpool offers a pool of *bytes.Buffer objects that are placed into exponentially sized buckets.

Bucketing prevents the memory cost of a pool from permanently increasing when a large buffer is placed into the pool.

Functions

func Get

func Get(size int) *bytes.Buffer

Get returns a buffer from the pool for the given size. Returned buffers are reset and ready for writes.

The capacity of the returned buffer is guaranteed to be at least size.

func Put

func Put(buf *bytes.Buffer)

Put returns a buffer to the pool. The buffer is placed into an appropriate bucket based on its current capacity.
