        @header kpi_mbuf.h
        This header defines an API for interacting with mbufs. mbufs are the
        primary method of storing packets in the networking stack.

        mbufs are used to store various items in the networking stack. The
        most common usage of an mbuf is to store a packet or data on a
        socket waiting to be sent or received. The mbuf is a contiguous
        structure with some header followed by some data. To store more data
        than would fit in an mbuf, external data is used. Most mbufs with
        external data use clusters to store the external data.

        mbufs can be chained, contiguous data in a packet can be found by
        following the m_next chain. Packets may be bundled together using
        m_nextpacket. Many parts of the stack do not properly handle chains
        of packets. When in doubt, don't chain packets.

                of a given IPv6 packet.  If the caller specifies a non-zero

                header.  Otherwise, no header parsing will be done and the

                an arbitrary span of data.

                This routine does not modify the contents of the packet.  If
                the caller specifies a non-zero protocol and/or offset, the

        @param mbuf The mbuf (or chain of mbufs) containing the packet.
        @param protocol A zero or non-zero value.  A non-zero value specifies
                the transport protocol used for pseudo header checksum.
        @param offset A zero or non-zero value; if the latter, it specifies
                the offset of the transport header from the beginning of mbuf.
        @param length The total (non-zero) length of the transport segment.
        @param csum Pointer to the checksum variable; upon success, this
                routine will return the calculated Internet checksum through
                this variable.  The caller must set it to a non-NULL value.
