NAME
ne_buffer - string buffer handling
SYNOPSIS
#include <ne_string.h>
typedef struct {
char *data;
size_t used;
size_t length;
} ne_buffer;
DESCRIPTION
The ne_buffer type represents an expandable memory buffer for holding
NUL-terminated strings. The data field points to the beginnning of the
string, the length of which is given by the used field. The current
size of memory allocated is given by the length field. It is not
recommended that the fields of a buffer are manipulated directly. The
data pointer may change when the buffer is modified.
A buffer is created using ne_buffer_create or ne_buffer_ncreate, and
destroyed using ne_buffer_destroy or ne_buffer_finish. The functions
ne_buffer_append, ne_buffer_zappend and ne_buffer_concat are used to
append data to a buffer.
If the string referenced by the data pointer is modified directly
(rather than using one of the functions listed above),
ne_buffer_altered must be called.
