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.
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);
}
Name
ne_buffer_destroy, ne_buffer_finish - destroy a buffer object
