/** @file buffer.h

  Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving.

  An evbuffer can be used for preparing data before sending it to
  the network or conversely for reading data from the network.
  Evbuffers try to avoid memory copies as much as possible.  As a
  result evbuffers can be used to pass data around without actually
  incurring the overhead of copying the data.

  A new evbuffer can be allocated with evbuffer_new(), and can be
  freed with evbuffer_free().

  There are several guide lines for using evbuffers.

  - if you already know how much data you are going to add as a result
    of calling evbuffer_add() multiple times, it makes sense to use
    evbuffer_expand() first to make sure that enough memory is allocated
    before hand.

  - evbuffer_add_buffer() adds the contents of one buffer to the other
    without incurring any unnecessary memory copies.

  - evbuffer_add() and evbuffer_add_buffer() do not mix very well:
    if you use them, you will wind up with fragmented memory in your
	buffer.

  As the contents of an evbuffer can be stored into multiple different
  memory blocks, it cannot be accessed directly.  Instead, evbuffer_pullup()
  can be used to force a specified number of bytes to be continuous. This
  will cause memory reallocation and memory copies if the data is split
  across multiple blocks.
