NAME
       buffer_putalign - write binary data to buffer

SYNTAX
       #include <buffer.h>

       int buffer_putalign(buffer* b,const char* x,size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
       buffer_putalign is similar to buffer_put.

       The  difference	to  buffer_put is that, when there isn't enough space for new data, buffer_put calls buffer_flush before copying any data,
       while buffer_putalign fills all available space with data before calling buffer_flush.

RETURN VALUE
       0 if everything is fine, -1 on error (setting errno).
