ne_buffer_destroy
ne_buffer_finish
destroy a buffer object
#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);
}
