NAME
  MCLGET2 - Network: Allocates a 2K byte data buffer and links it to an mbuf
  structure

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/mbuf.h>


  void MCLGET2(
	  struct mbuf *m,
	  int canwait );

ARGUMENTS
  m   Specifies a pointer to a previously allocated mbuf structure.

  canwait
      When set to true, specifies that the routine can wait for the memory to
      become available. In general, this argument can be set to true as long
      as no locks are being held and the caller is not running at interrupt
      level or with interrupts disabled.

DESCRIPTION
  The MCLGET2() routine allocates a 2K byte data buffer and links the
  supplied mbuf structure to the data buffer.

NOTES
  On successful completion, the M_EXT bit is set in the mh_flags member of
  the mbuf data structure.

RETURN VALUES
  None
