DESCRIPTION

14       buffer_fromsa  makes a virtual read buffer from a stralloc.  The buffer
15       reading functions will be able to read until the end of the data in the
16       stralloc,  then  signal  EOF.   The buffer does not have its own buffer
17       space, it reuses the one in the stralloc.
18
19       Do not touch the stralloc until you are done with the buffer!  In  par‐
20       ticular, do not call stralloc_free on it!
21
22       Reading data from the buffer will not change the stralloc.
