NAME¶
buffer_tosa - initialize buffer for writing to stralloc
SYNTAX¶
#include <buffer.h>
int
buffer_tosa(buffer*
b,stralloc*
sa);
DESCRIPTION¶
buffer_tosa makes a virtual write buffer from a stralloc. The buffer writing
functions will append data to the stralloc until the stralloc fails to
allocate more memory. You still need to flush the buffer.
Note that in the end the stralloc will have allocated more memory than is needed
to hold the actual contents. The waste is 1024 bytes.
RETURN VALUE¶
buffer_tosa returns 0 if everything was fine, -1 if it failed to allocate space
for the initial data in the stralloc.
