==========
TTY Buffer
==========
.. contents:: :local:
Here, we document functions for taking care of tty buffer and their flipping.
Drivers are supposed to fill the buffer by one of those functions below and
then flip the buffer, so that the data are passed to :doc:`line discipline
<tty_ldisc>` for further processing.
Flip Buffer Management
======================

Other Functions
