Record the maximum size required when writing into a data transfer buffer. This allows the maximum size to be determined even if allocation fails (e.g. due to a fixed-size buffer or an out-of-memory condition). In the case of a fixed-size buffer (which may already be larger than required), this allows the caller to determine the actual size used for written data.

iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
