Consume_each

Hello, i have noticed the use of consume_each(n) in some of the block
sources; for example in the simple correlator it is called once with n
and once with n plus one - what is exactly its function and is it the
only consume function? What is the meaning of the parameter?

Thanks
Mc

See gr_block.h for docs.

It’s used by general_work to tell the scheduler how much input it
consumed.
