/// \par Overview
///             This byte-buffer structure provides an easy and efficient way to store
///             and process a stream of bytes.� You can create as many buffers as you
///             like (within memory limits), and then use this common set of functions to
///             access each buffer.� The buffers are designed for FIFO�operation (first
///             in, first out).� This means that the first byte you put in the buffer
///             will be the first one you get when you read out the buffer.� Supported
///             functions include buffer initialize, get byte from front of buffer, add
///             byte to end of buffer, check if buffer is full, and flush buffer.� The
///             buffer uses a circular design so no copying of data is ever necessary.
///             This buffer is not dynamically allocated, it has a user-defined fixed
///             maximum size.� This buffer is used in many places in the avrlib code.
