NAME
     nebuffer - string buffer handling

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     typedef struct {
         char *data;
         sizet used;
         sizet length; } nebuffer;



DESCRIPTION
     The nebuffer 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   nebuffercreate(3)   or
     nebufferncreate(3),        and       destroyed       using
     nebufferdestroy(3) or nebufferfinish(3).  The  functions
     nebufferappend(3),         nebufferzappend(3)        and
     nebufferconcat(3) 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), nebufferaltered must be called.
