/** @file stringbuffer.h
*
* Implements a general string buffer: it builds a string by concatenating. It
* allocates enough memory to hold the whole string; there is no upper limit
* for the total string length.
*
* Usage is:
* <code>
* StringBuffer *sb = stringbuffer_new();
* stringbuffer_append_string(sb, "abc");
* stringbuffer_append_string(sb, "def");
* ... more calls to stringbuffer_append_xxx()
* char *str = stringbuffer_finish(sb)
* ... use str
* free(str);
* </code>
*
* No function ever fails. In case not enough memory is availabl, {@link
* fatal()} is called.
