NE_BUFFER_DESTROY(3)						neon API reference					      NE_BUFFER_DESTROY(3)

NAME
       ne_buffer_destroy, ne_buffer_finish - destroy a buffer object

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ne_string.h>

       void ne_buffer_destroy (ne_buffer *buf);

       char *ne_buffer_finish (ne_buffer *buf);

DESCRIPTION
       ne_buffer_destroy  frees  all  memory  associated  with	the buffer. ne_buffer_finish frees the buffer structure, but not the actual string
       stored in the buffer, which is returned and must be free()d by the caller.

       Any use of the buffer object after calling either of these functions gives undefined behaviour.

RETURN VALUE
       ne_buffer_finish returns the malloc-allocated string stored in the buffer.

EXAMPLES
       An example use of ne_buffer_finish; the duplicate function returns a string made up of n copies of str:

       static char *duplicate(int n, const char *str)
       {
	 ne_buffer *buf = ne_buffer_create();
	 while (n--) {
	   ne_buffer_zappend(buf, str);
	 }
	 return ne_buffer_finish(buf);
       }
