NAME

ldns_buffer_new, ldns_buffer_new_frm_data, ldns_buffer_clear, ldns_buffer_printf, ldns_buffer_free, ldns_buffer_export

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

ldns_buffer* ldns_buffer_new(size_t capacity);

void ldns_buffer_new_frm_data(ldns_buffer *buffer, void  *data,  size_t
size);

void ldns_buffer_clear(ldns_buffer *buffer);

int ldns_buffer_printf(ldns_buffer *buffer, const char *format, ...);

void ldns_buffer_free(ldns_buffer *buffer);

void* ldns_buffer_export(ldns_buffer *buffer);

DESCRIPTION

ldns_buffer_new() creates a new buffer with the specified capacity.

capacity: the size (in bytes) to allocate for the buffer Returns the created buffer

ldns_buffer_new_frm_data() creates a buffer with the specified data.

The data IS copied and MEMORY allocations are done. The buffer is not fixed and can be resized using buffer_reserve().

buffer: pointer to the buffer to put the data in
data: the data to encapsulate in the buffer
size: the size of the data

ldns_buffer_clear() clears the buffer and make it ready for writing.

The buffer's limit is set to the capacity and the position is set to 0.
buffer: the buffer to clear

ldns_buffer_printf() prints to the buffer, increasing the capacity if

required using buffer_reserve(). The buffer's position is set to the terminating terminating '\\0') or -1 on failure.

ldns_buffer_free() frees the buffer.

*buffer: the buffer to be freed
Returns void

ldns_buffer_export() Makes the buffer fixed and returns a pointer to

the data. The caller is responsible for free'ing the result.
*buffer: the buffer to be exported
Returns void
