.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Ss Variables
Compile time options.
Statistics are kept about memory usage.
.Bl -ohang
.It Va buffer_stat_nb
show how many buffers were created.
.It Va buffer_stat_alloc_bytes
show how many bytes were allocated.
.El
.Ss Types
.Bl -ohang
.It Vt "struct buf"
character array buffer.
Consists of the following fields:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Vt "char *" Va data
actual character data.
.It Vt size_t Va size
size of the string.
.It Vt size_t Va asize
allocated size
.Pq 0 = volatile buffer .
.It Vt size_t Va unit
reallocation unit size
.Pq 0 = read-only buffer .
.It Vt int Va ref
reference count.
.El
.El
.Ss Macros
.Bl -ohang
.It Dv CONST_BUF
create a global buffer
.Va name
from a string literal
.Va string .
.It Dv VOLATILE_BUF
create a volatile buffer
.Va name
on the stack from a string
.Va strname .
.It Dv BUFPUTSL
optimized
.Fn bufputs
of a string literal.
.El
.Ss Functions
.Bl -ohang
.It Fn bufcasecmp
compare two buffers ignoring case.
.It Fn bufcmp
compare two buffers.
.It Fn bufcmps
compare a buffer to a string.
.It Fn bufdup
duplicate a buffer
.Va src .
.It Fn bufgrow
increase the allocated size to the given value.
.It Fn bufnew
create a new buffer.
.It Fn bufnullterm
terminate the string array by NUL
.Pq making a C-string .
.It Fn bufprintf
print formatted output to a buffer
.Va buf .
.It Fn bufput
append raw data to a buffer
.Va buf .
.It Fn bufputs
append a NUL-terminated string
.Va str
to a buffer
.Va buf .
.It Fn bufputc
append a single char
.Va c
to a buffer
.Va buf .
.It Fn bufrelease
decrease the reference count and free the buffer
.Va buf
if needed.
.It Fn bufreset
free internal data of the buffer
.Va buf .
.It Fn bufset
safely assign a buffer to another.
.It Fn bufslurp
remove a given number of bytes from the head of the array.
.It Fn buftoi
convert the numbers at the beginning of the buffer
.Va buf
into an
.Vt int .
.It Fn vbufprintf
.Xr stdarg 3
variant of formatted printing into a buffer
.Va buf .
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn bufcasecmp ,
.Fn bufcmp
and
.Fn bufcmps
functions return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if
.Va a
is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than
.Va b .
.Pp
The
.Fn bufdup
and
.Fn bufnew
functions return a
.Vt "struct buf *"
on success; on error they return
.Dv NULL .
.Pp
The
.Fn bufgrow
function returns on success 1; on error - 0.
.Pp
The
.Fn bufnullterm ,
.Fn bufprintf ,
.Fn bufput ,
.Fn bufputs ,
.Fn bufputc ,
.Fn bufrelease ,
.Fn bufreset ,
.Fn bufset ,
.Fn bufslurp
and
.Fn vbufprintf
functions do not return a value.
.Pp
The
.Fn buftoi
function return the converted value.
