/***************************************************************
 * A netwib_buf is the standard memory storage used in netwib. *
 *                                                             *
 * A netwib_buf points to an array (static or malloced) which  *
 * starts at 'first' and finishes at 'last'.                   *
 * The memory contains user data between 'begin' and 'end'.    *
 *    ---------------------------------------------------      *
 *    |       |               data              |       |      *
 *    |F|     |B|                               |E|     |L     *
 *    ---------------------------------------------------      *
 *   First   Begin                              End    Last    *
 *     0       x                                 y   totalsize *
 *                                                             *
 * Data between 'first and begin', and data between 'end and   *
 * last' may be corrupted when working on the buffer. To avoid *
 * this, use netwib_buf_init_ext_buf and work on the new buffer*

/* If totalptr points :
     0x0001 : to an allocated memory
    ~0x0001 : to an external array (stack array or array which
              does not need to be freed)
   Those two modes corresponds to the two ways to initialize a
   netwib_buf :
     - netwib_buf_init_malloc : it internally allocates memory
       and eventually reallocate it if more is needed. At the
       end, function netwib_buf_close must be called to free
       memory.
     - netwib_buf_init_ext_xyz : buffer does not contain memory,
       but points on an external array. At the end, function
       netwib_buf_close does not need to be called to free
       memory (no closing function is needed).
   This flag should not be directly modified by user.
 */
#define NETWIB_BUF_FLAGS_ALLOC 0x00000001u

/* In the following case :
     - flag NETWIB_BUF_FLAGS_ALLOC is unset, and
     - there is no sufficient space in the array
   we can :
     0x0002 : allocate memory and store array content in it
              (the array is no more used)
    ~0x0002 : return a space limitation error
   This flag is very useful to optimize code. When we know in
   most cases our code will need 80 bytes, we use an array
   of 80 bytes. In the rare cases where it is not sufficient,
   an allocated pointer is created. Like this for most
   frequently encountered cases, there is no need to allocate.
   Once allocated, it works like if it was allocated from beginning.
   Once allocated, the external array is no more used.
   Once allocated, flag NETWIB_BUF_FLAGS_ALLOC is automatically
   set.
   If array size is greater than 2k, it's not really advantageous
   to use this flag, because copying 2k needs almost the same time
   as a malloc and free.
   This is generally used with netwib_buf_init_ext_arrayempty.
   This flag defaults to false. It has to be explicitly set
   by user.

     0x0004 : allowed to slide data (shrunk space between First
              and Begin), when there is no sufficient space
              between End and Last for appending
    ~0x0004 : not allowed to slide
   This flag defaults to false. It has to be explicitly set
   by user.

#define NETWIB_BUF_FLAGS_CANSLIDE 0x00000004u

/* Sometimes, a buffer contains sensitive data such as a password,
   so we want to do a memset on this data when it is no more needed.
   This flags says that buffer contains sensitive data. Buffer will
   be wiped with memset(.0.) during:
     netwib_buf_close(),
     netwib__buf_reinit(),
     netwib__buf_erase(),
     netwib_bufpool_buf_close(),
     netwib_bufpool_close(),
     and all functions using above ones.
   It is developer's task to set this flag each time a buffer may
   contain sensitive data.
   Netwib supports a feature to transfer this flag (also known as
   tainting in other languages). For example, when a sensitive
   buffer is copied to another buffer, this one also becomes
   sensitive.
   Once buffer is closed, the flag is unset, so user has to set
   it each time sensitive data is initialized. The closing
   functions are:
     netwib_buf_close(),
     netwib_bufpool_buf_close(),
     netwib_bufpool_close().
   WARNING:
   This feature was conceived for PASSWORDS or cryptographic KEYS
   stored in a netwib_buf. It cannot help for other types such
   as a netwib_string, a netwib_ring or a netwib_ip.
   This feature was conceived for buffer manipulation functions,
   such as netwib_buf_append_buf, and not in functions unrelated
   to passwords or keys, such as netwib_pkt_... or
   netwib_sniff_... When a function supports this feature, it is
   indicated in its help comment before the prototype (.h file).
   Perhaps one day, I will expand this feature to erase other kind
   of data, but this is not the case currently.
   To sum up, don't expect this feature to be the Solution for
   your sensitive data management, but only a small step towards it.
   END OF WARNING.
   This flag defaults to false. It has to be explicitly set
   by user.

 * Type netwib_bufext is exactly the same as netwib_buf. It    *

 *  - Functions having an output parameter of type netwib_buf  *
