 Besides the MWMR channels, the MWMR library provide  another - optional - service: The '''mwmr_bufio_t''' buffer (and the associated access functions) can be used to implement a private input or output buffer,  and move data to or from a shared MWMR communication channel.  This buffer can be declared as a local variable in the stack of the reader/writer thread, and simplifies the access to the MWMR channel when the transfered data have a non fixed format, and must be analysed or produced byte per byte: an input buffer is automatically refill when it becomes empty; an output buffer is automatically flushed when it becomes full
