DESCRIPTION

       The DS library is a collection of functions for creating, manipulating, and formatting strings of bytes. The memory used by these strings
       is dynamically allocated and released as necessary. When used correctly, bugs caused by buffer overruns and other programming errors can be
       avoided. There are also functions for creating and manipulating dynamic vectors of pointers and objects.

   Byte Strings
       A Ds data structure represents a dynamic string. It must be initialized before it can be used. A Ds variable contains several fields that
       may be set after initialization but before it is first used. Default values for some of these fields are copied from global variables
       exported by the library.
