\fIpool_size\fR

Number of bio and bio_vecs to cache in the mempool

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Set up a bio_set to be used with
\fIbio_alloc_bioset\fR\&. Allows the caller to ask for a number of bytes to be allocated in front of the bio\&. Front pad allocation is useful for embedding the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocating extra data to go with the bio\&. Note that the bio must be embedded at the END of that structure always, or things will break badly\&.
