Documentation of buf struct

I am not very clear on the purpose of different data members within the
buf structure.(appended below)

After looking through the code, I can figure out the purpose of

  • pos,last (sliding window)

  • file_pos, file_last, start, end ,(data start and end)

  • tag, (which module owns this buf)

  • file (name of the file if any associated with the data)

  • memory(cannot be released by any module that processes the buf).

  • mmap (buf is memory map)

  • last_in_chain(last in the chain of bufs)

  • last_buf(last in the response)

  • For temporary: can the temporary buffer be released by any module
    that processes it or can it be released by only the module that owns it
    as indicated in the tag

It will be good if the purpose of other data members is described also.
Thanks for any inputs
