25  *  @brief Create a "view" or "window" into an existing buffer.
26  *  - enforces one active view at a time per-buffer
27  *  -> this restriction enables prepending data (ie. for headers)
28  *  - forbids appending data to the view
29  *  - pulls the size of the view from said buffer.
30  *
31  *  The "virtual buffer" that is generated has to be allocated from a buffer
32  *  pool. This is to allow refcounting and attaching a destroy callback. The
33  *  configured size of the buffers in that pool should be zero-length.
34  *
35  *  The user-data size is application-dependent, but should be minimized to save
36  *  memory. user_data is not used by the view API.
37  *
38  *  The view mechanism needs to store extra metadata in order to unlock the
39  *  original buffer when the view is destroyed.
40  *
41  *  The storage and allocation of the view buf pool and the view metadata is the
42  *  application's responsibility.
43  *
44  *  @note The `headroom` param is only used for __ASSERT(). The idea is that
45  *  it's easier to debug a headroom assert failure at allocation time, rather
46  *  than later down the line when a lower layer tries to add its headers and
47  *  fails.
48  *
49  *  @param view         Uninitialized "View" buffer
50  *  @param parent       Buffer data is pulled from into `view`
51  *  @param len          Amount to pull
52  *  @param meta         Uninitialized metadata storage
53  *
54  *  @return view if the operation was successful. NULL on error.
