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 posi-
              tion 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
