Function Documentation

int hc_compress ( u8_t buf,
int  len 
)

Compress a header.

This function compresses the TCP/IP headers in a buffer and should be called just before sending out data on the network. A pointer to the compressed header is returned, and len is adjusted.

If the header could not be compressed, the function does nothing and returns a NULL pointer.

Returns
A pointer to the start of the compressed header or NULL if the header could not be compressed.

int hc_inflate ( u8_t buf,
int  len 
)

Inflate (decompress) a header.

This function should be called to inflate a possibly compressed packet header just after a packet has been received from the network. The function will copy the packet data so that the original header fits and adjusts uip_len.
