meaning that reads and writes will return immediately with an error if the operation cannot be completed.
If you want to block when reading or writing, you must enable it:

```go
	rb := ringbuffer.New(1024).SetBlocking(true)
```

Enabling blocking will cause the ring buffer to behave like a buffered [io.Pipe](https://pkg.go.dev/io#Pipe).

Regular Reads will block until data is available, but not wait for a full buffer.

	}
}

func TestRingBuffer_WriteBlocking(t *testing.T) {
	rb := New(64).SetBlocking(true)

	// check empty or full
	if !rb.IsEmpty() {
		t.Fatalf("expect IsEmpty is true but got false")
	}
	if rb.IsFull() {
		t.Fatalf("expect IsFull is false but got true")
	}
	if rb.Length() != 0 {

		size: size,
	}
}

// NewBuffer returns a new RingBuffer whose buffer is provided.
func NewBuffer(b []byte) *RingBuffer {
	return &RingBuffer{
		buf:  b,
		size: len(b),
	}
}

// SetBlocking sets the blocking mode of the ring buffer.
// If block is true, Read and Write will block when there is no data to read or no space to write.
// If block is false, Read and Write will return ErrIsEmpty or ErrIsFull immediately.
