PATCH 1/1 buffer_list: add functions documentation

bufferlist_* functions have no documentation whatsoever and the name is not always enough to fully understand what the function is doing. For this reason and for the sake of having better documented code, add function doc in buffer.h.

---

Some doc might be extended and some might be unecessary. Still I think it is good to start having doc for more helper functions we have around.

Hi,

Quoted 4 lines · Antonio Quartulli

bufferlist_* functions have no documentation whatsoever and the name is not always enough to fully understand what the function is doing. For this reason and for the sake of having better documented code, add function doc in buffer.h.

Very good, thanks for documenting this!

Apart from the typo, this looks good.
