5 * Strbuf's can be use in many ways: as a byte array, or to store arbitrary
6 * long, overflow safe strings.
8 * Strbufs has some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
10 * 1. the ->buf member is always malloc-ed, hence strbuf's can be used to
11 * build complex strings/buffers whose final size isn't easily known.
13 * It is NOT legal to copy the ->buf pointer away.
14 * `strbuf_detach' is the operation that detachs a buffer from its shell
15 * while keeping the shell valid wrt its invariants.
17 * 2. the ->buf member is a byte array that has at least ->len + 1 bytes
18 * allocated. The extra byte is used to store a '\0', allowing the ->buf
19 * member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this
20 * invariant is preserved.
22 * Note that it is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it
23 * that way:
25 * strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE);
26 * // ... here the memory areay starting at sb->buf, and of length
27 * // sb_avail(sb) is all yours, and you are sure that sb_avail(sb) is at
28 * // least SOME_SIZE
29 * strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
31 * Of course, SOME_OTHER_SIZE must be smaller or equal to sb_avail(sb).
33 * Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the
34 * missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go.
36 * XXX: do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size ->alloc - 1
37 * even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a
38 * "private" member that should not be messed with.
