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.
