+Lock-free single-producer single-consumer (SPSC) FIFO ring buffer with direct access to inner data.
+
+# Overview
+
+`RingBuffer` is the initial structure representing ring buffer itself.
+Ring buffer can be splitted into pair of `Producer` and `Consumer`.
+
+`Producer` and `Consumer` are used to append/remove elements to/from the ring buffer accordingly. They can be safely transfered between threads.
+Operations with `Producer` and `Consumer` are lock-free - they're succeded or failed immediately without blocking or waiting.
+
+Elements can be effectively appended/removed one by one or many at once.
+Also data could be loaded/stored directly into/from [`Read`]/[`Write`] instances.
+And finally, there are `unsafe` methods allowing thread-safe direct access in place to the inner memory being appended/removed.
+
+[`Read`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.Read.html
+[`Write`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/trait.Write.html
+
+When building with nightly toolchain it is possible to run benchmarks via `cargo bench --features benchmark`.
+
+Also the crate could be used with `no_std` (but `alloc` is still required).
+
+# Examples
+
+## Simple example
+
+```rust
+use ringbuf::RingBuffer;
+
+let rb = RingBuffer::<i32>::new(2);
+let (mut prod, mut cons) = rb.split();
+
+prod.push(0).unwrap();
+prod.push(1).unwrap();
+assert_eq!(prod.push(2), Err(2));
+
+assert_eq!(cons.pop().unwrap(), 0);
+
+prod.push(2).unwrap();
+
+assert_eq!(cons.pop().unwrap(), 1);
+assert_eq!(cons.pop().unwrap(), 2);
+assert_eq!(cons.pop(), None);
+```
+
+## Message transfer
+
+This is more complicated example of transfering text message between threads.
+
+```rust
+use std::io::Read;
+use std::thread;
+use std::time::Duration;
+
+use ringbuf::RingBuffer;
+
+let buf = RingBuffer::<u8>::new(10);
+let (mut prod, mut cons) = buf.split();
+
+let smsg = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
+
+let pjh = thread::spawn(move || {
+ println!("-> sending message: '{}'", smsg);
+
+ let zero = [0];
+ let mut bytes = smsg.as_bytes().chain(&zero[..]);
+ loop {
+ if prod.is_full() {
+ println!("-> buffer is full, waiting");
+ thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(1));
+ } else {
+ let n = prod.read_from(&mut bytes, None).unwrap();
+ if n == 0 {
+ break;
+ }
+ println!("-> {} bytes sent", n);
+ }
+ }
+
+ println!("-> message sent");
+});
+
+let cjh = thread::spawn(move || {
+ println!("<- receiving message");
+
+ let mut bytes = Vec::<u8>::new();
+ loop {
+ if cons.is_empty() {
+ if bytes.ends_with(&[0]) {
+ break;
+ } else {
+ println!("<- buffer is empty, waiting");
+ thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(1));
+ }
+ } else {
+ let n = cons.write_into(&mut bytes, None).unwrap();
+ println!("<- {} bytes received", n);
+ }
+ }
+
+ assert_eq!(bytes.pop().unwrap(), 0);
+ let msg = String::from_utf8(bytes).unwrap();
+ println!("<- message received: '{}'", msg);
+
+ msg
+});
+
+pjh.join().unwrap();
+let rmsg = cjh.join().unwrap();
+
+assert_eq!(smsg, rmsg);
+```
