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 '\0' Returns the number of characters written (not including the 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
