5  * Strbuf's can be use in many ways: as a byte array, or to store arbitrary
6  * long, overflow safe strings.
7  *
8  * Strbufs has some invariants that are very important to keep in mind:
9  *
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.
12  *
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.
16  *
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.
21  *
22  *    Note that it is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it
23  *    that way:
24  *
25  *    strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE);
26  *       ... Here, the memory array starting at sb->buf, and of length
27  *       ... strbuf_avail(sb) is all yours, and you are sure that
28  *       ... strbuf_avail(sb) is at least SOME_SIZE.
29  *    strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE);
30  *
31  *    Of course, SOME_OTHER_SIZE must be smaller or equal to strbuf_avail(sb).
32  *
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.
35  *
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.
