rusty-hermit 0.3.54

A Rust-based library operting system
//! This module contains Virtio's virtqueue.
//!
//! The virtqueue is available in two forms.
//! [Split](structs.SplitVqueue.html) and [Packed](structs.PackedVqueue.html).
//! Both queues are wrapped inside an enum [Virtqueue](enums.Virtqueue.html) in
//! order to provide an unified interface.
//!
//! Drivers who need a more fine grained access to the specific queues must
//! use the respective virtqueue structs directly.
