Everything about Data buffer

Memory used temporarily in data transfers

In computer science, a data buffer is a region of memory used to store data temporarily while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device or just before it is sent to an output device ; however, a buffer may be used when data is moved between processes within a computer, comparable to buffers in telecommunications. Buffers can be implemented in a fixed memory location in hardware or by using a virtual data buffer in software that points to a location in the physical memory. Wikipedia →
