Given that the length of the buffer is known, it's often better to + * use the mem* functions than a str* one (memchr vs. strchr e.g.). + * Though, one has to be careful about the fact that str* functions often + * stop on NULs and that strbufs may have embedded NULs. + * + * A strbuf is NUL terminated for convenience, but no function in the + * strbuf API actually relies on the string being free of NULs. + * + * strbufs have some invariants that are very important to keep in mind: + * + * - The `buf` member is never NULL, so it can be used in any usual C + * string operations safely. strbuf's _have_ to be initialized either by + * `strbuf_init()` or by `= STRBUF_INIT` before the invariants, though. + * + * Do *not* assume anything on what `buf` really is (e.g. if it is + * allocated memory or not), use `strbuf_detach()` to unwrap a memory + * buffer from its strbuf shell in a safe way. That is the sole supported + * way. This will give you a malloced buffer that you can later `free()`. + * + * However, it is totally safe to modify anything in the string pointed by + * the `buf` member, between the indices `0` and `len-1` (inclusive). + * + * - The `buf` member is a byte array that has at least `len + 1` bytes + * allocated. The extra byte is used to store a `'\0'`, allowing the + * `buf` member to be a valid C-string. Every strbuf function ensure this + * invariant is preserved. + * + * NOTE: It is OK to "play" with the buffer directly if you work it this + * way: + * + * strbuf_grow(sb, SOME_SIZE); <1> + * strbuf_setlen(sb, sb->len + SOME_OTHER_SIZE); + * + * <1> Here, the memory array starting at `sb->buf`, and of length + * `strbuf_avail(sb)` is all yours, and you can be sure that + * `strbuf_avail(sb)` is at least `SOME_SIZE`. + * + * NOTE: `SOME_OTHER_SIZE` must be smaller or equal to `strbuf_avail(sb)`. + * + * Doing so is safe, though if it has to be done in many places, adding the + * missing API to the strbuf module is the way to go. + * + * WARNING: Do _not_ assume that the area that is yours is of size `alloc + * - 1` even if it's true in the current implementation. Alloc is somehow a + * "private" member that should not be messed with.
