typedef struct printbuf printbuf;
/* As an optimization, printbuf_memappend_fast() is defined as a macro
* that handles copying data if the buffer is large enough; otherwise
* it invokes printbuf_memappend() which performs the heavy
* lifting of realloc()ing the buffer and copying data.
* Your code should not use printbuf_memappend() directly unless it
* checks the return code. Use printbuf_memappend_fast() instead.
printbuf_memappend(struct printbuf *p, const char *buf, int size);
#define printbuf_memappend_fast(p, bufptr, bufsize) \
if ((p->size - p->bpos) > bufsize) { \
memcpy(p->buf + p->bpos, (bufptr), bufsize); \
} else { printbuf_memappend(p, (bufptr), bufsize); } \
#define printbuf_length(p) ((p)->bpos)
* Results in a compile error if the argument is not a string literal.
#define _printbuf_check_literal(mystr) ("" mystr)
* This is an optimization wrapper around printbuf_memappend() that is useful
* for appending string literals. Since the size of string constants is known
* at compile time, using this macro can avoid a costly strlen() call. This is
* especially helpful when a constant string must be appended many times. If
* you got here because of a compilation error caused by passing something
* other than a string literal, use printbuf_memappend_fast() in conjunction

printbuf_memappend ((pb), _printbuf_check_literal(str), sizeof(str) - 1)
* Set len bytes of the buffer to charvalue, starting at offset offset.
* Similar to calling memset(x, charvalue, len);
* The memory allocated for the buffer is extended as necessary.
* If offset is -1, this starts at the end of the current data in the buffer.
printbuf_memset(struct printbuf *pb, int offset, int charvalue, int len);
* Formatted print to printbuf.
* This function is the most expensive of the available functions for appending
* string data to a printbuf and should be used only where convenience is more
* important than speed. Avoid using this function in high performance code or
* tight loops; in these scenarios, consider using snprintf() with a static
* buffer in conjunction with one of the printbuf_*append() functions.
