package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/smallnest/ringbuffer"
)

func main() {
	rb := ringbuffer.New(1024)

	// write
	rb.Write([]byte("abcd"))
	fmt.Println(rb.Length())
	fmt.Println(rb.Free())

	// read
	buf := make([]byte, 4)
	rb.Read(buf)
	fmt.Println(string(buf))

It is possible to use an existing buffer with by replacing `New` with `NewBuffer`.
