NAME

6       ne_buffer - string buffer handling
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <ne_string.h>
10
11       typedef struct {
12           char *data;
13           size_t used;
14           size_t length;
15       } ne_buffer;
16

DESCRIPTION

18       The ne_buffer type represents an expandable memory buffer for holding
19       NUL-terminated strings. The data field points to the beginnning of the
20       string, the length of which is given by the used field. The current
21       size of memory allocated is given by the length field. It is not
22       recommended that the fields of a buffer are manipulated directly. The
23       data pointer may change when the buffer is modified.
24
25       A buffer is created using ne_buffer_create or ne_buffer_ncreate, and
26       destroyed using ne_buffer_destroy or ne_buffer_finish. The functions
27       ne_buffer_append, ne_buffer_zappend and ne_buffer_concat are used to
28       append data to a buffer.
29
30       If the string referenced by the data pointer is modified directly
31       (rather than using one of the functions listed above),
32       ne_buffer_altered must be called.
