NE_BUFFER(3)            neon API reference           NE_BUFFER(3)



NAME
       ne_buffer - string buffer handling

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       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.
