* \brief Data Buffer API
*
* A data buffer acts as a ring buffer of data. It is given a fixed
* number of data packets to store (which may be dynamically changed).
* Given a number it will store a data packet at that position relative
* to the others. Given a number it will retrieve the given data packet
* if it is present. This is purposely a storage of arbitrary things so
* that it can be used for multiple things.
