##### buffers_prefix (3 of 3 overloads)

Returns a prefix of a buffer sequence.

###### Synopsis

Defined in header `<boost/beast/core/buffers_prefix.hpp>`

    template<
        class BufferSequence>
    buffers_prefix_view< BufferSequence >
    buffers_prefix(
        std::size_t size,
        BufferSequence const& buffers);

###### Description

This function returns a new buffer sequence which when iterated, presents a shorter subset of the original list of buffers starting with the first byte of the original sequence.

###### Parameters

Name | Description
--- | ---
`size` | The maximum number of bytes in the wrapped sequence. If this is larger than the size of passed, buffers, the resulting sequence will represent the entire input sequence.
`buffers` | An instance of ConstBufferSequence or MutableBufferSequence to adapt. A copy of the sequence will be made, but ownership of the underlying memory is not transferred.
