/* DESCRIPTION
/*	The functions and macros in this module implement arbitrary-length
/*	strings and common operations on those strings. The strings do not
/*	need to be null terminated and may contain arbitrary binary data.
/*	The strings manage their own memory and grow automatically when full.
/*	The optional string null terminator does not add to the string length.
/*
/*	vstring_alloc() allocates storage for a variable-length string
/*	of at least "len" bytes. The minimal length is 1. The result
/*	is a null-terminated string of length zero.
/*
/*	vstring_ctl() gives additional control over VSTRING behavior.
/*	The function takes a VSTRING pointer and a list of zero or
/*	more macros with zer or more arguments, terminated with
/*	CA_VSTRING_CTL_END which has none.
/* .IP "CA_VSTRING_CTL_MAXLEN(ssize_t len)"
/*	Specifies a hard upper limit on a string's length. When the
/*	length would be exceeded, the program simulates a memory
/*	allocation problem (i.e. it terminates through msg_fatal()).
/*	This fuctionality is currently unimplemented.
/* .IP "CA_VSTRING_CTL_END (no argument)"
/*	Specifies the end of the argument list. Forgetting to terminate
/*	the argument list may cause the program to crash.
/* .PP
/*	VSTRING_SPACE() ensures that the named string has room for
/*	"len" more characters. VSTRING_SPACE() is an unsafe macro
/*	that either returns zero or never returns.
/*
/*	vstring_avail() returns the number of bytes that can be placed
/*	into the buffer before the buffer would need to grow.
/*
/*	vstring_free() reclaims storage for a variable-length string.
/*	It conveniently returns a null pointer.
/*
/*	vstring_str() is a macro that returns the string value
/*	of a variable-length string. It is a safe macro that
/*	evaluates its argument only once.
/*
/*	VSTRING_LEN() is a macro that returns the current length of
/*	its argument (i.e. the distance from the start of the string
/*	to the current write position). VSTRING_LEN() is an unsafe macro
/*	that evaluates its argument more than once.
/*
/*	vstring_end() is a macro that returns the current write position of
/*	its argument. It is a safe macro that evaluates its argument only once.
/*
/*	VSTRING_ADDCH() adds a character to a variable-length string
/*	and extends the string if it fills up.  \fIvs\fP is a pointer
/*	to a VSTRING structure; \fIch\fP the character value to be written.
/*	The result is the written character.
/*	Note that VSTRING_ADDCH() is an unsafe macro that evaluates some
/*	arguments more than once. The result is NOT null-terminated.
/*
/*	vstring_truncate() truncates the named string to the specified
/*	length. If length is negative, the trailing portion is kept.
/*	The operation has no effect when the string is shorter.
/*	The string is not null-terminated.
/*
/*	VSTRING_RESET() is a macro that resets the write position of its
/*	string argument to the very beginning. Note that VSTRING_RESET()
/*	is an unsafe macro that evaluates some arguments more than once.
/*	The result is NOT null-terminated.
/*
/*	VSTRING_TERMINATE() null-terminates its string argument.
/*	VSTRING_TERMINATE() is an unsafe macro that evaluates some
/*	arguments more than once.
/*	VSTRING_TERMINATE() does not return an interesting result.
/*
/*	VSTRING_SKIP() is a macro that moves the write position to the first
/*	null byte after the current write position. VSTRING_SKIP() is an unsafe
/*	macro that evaluates some arguments more than once.
/*
/*	vstring_strcpy() copies a null-terminated string to a variable-length
/*	string. \fIsrc\fP provides the data to be copied; \fIvp\fP is the
/*	target and result value.  The result is null-terminated.
/*
/*	vstring_strncpy() copies at most \fIlen\fR characters. Otherwise it is
/*	identical to vstring_strcpy().
/*
/*	vstring_strcat() appends a null-terminated string to a variable-length
/*	string. \fIsrc\fP provides the data to be copied; \fIvp\fP is the
/*	target and result value.  The result is null-terminated.
/*
/*	vstring_strncat() copies at most \fIlen\fR characters. Otherwise it is
/*	identical to vstring_strcat().
/*
/*	vstring_memcpy() copies \fIlen\fR bytes to a variable-length string.
/*	\fIsrc\fP provides the data to be copied; \fIvp\fP is the
/*	target and result value.  The result is not null-terminated.
/*
/*	vstring_memcat() appends \fIlen\fR bytes to a variable-length string.
/*	\fIsrc\fP provides the data to be copied; \fIvp\fP is the
/*	target and result value.  The result is not null-terminated.
/*
/*	vstring_memchr() locates a byte in a variable-length string.
/*
/*	vstring_insert() inserts a buffer content into a variable-length
/*	string at the specified start position. The result is
/*	null-terminated.
/*
/*	vstring_prepend() prepends a buffer content to a variable-length
/*	string. The result is null-terminated.
/*
/*	vstring_sprintf() produces a formatted string according to its
/*	\fIformat\fR argument. See vstring_vsprintf() for details.
/*
/*	vstring_sprintf_append() is like vstring_sprintf(), but appends
/*	to the end of the result buffer.
/*
/*	vstring_sprintf_append() is like vstring_sprintf(), but prepends
/*	to the beginning of the result buffer.
/*
/*	vstring_vsprintf() returns a null-terminated string according to
/*	the \fIformat\fR argument. It understands the s, c, d, u,
/*	o, x, X, p, e, f and g format types, the l modifier, field width
/*	and precision, sign, and null or space padding. This module
/*	can format strings as large as available memory permits.
/*
/*	vstring_vsprintf_append() is like vstring_vsprintf(), but appends
/*	to the end of the result buffer.
/*
/*	In addition to stdio-like format specifiers, vstring_vsprintf()
/*	recognizes %m and expands it to the corresponding errno text.
/*
/*	vstring_export() extracts the string value from a VSTRING.
/*	The VSTRING is destroyed. The result should be passed to myfree().
/*
/*	vstring_import() takes a `bare' string and converts it to
/*	a VSTRING. The string argument must be obtained from mymalloc().
/*	The string argument is not copied.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Fatal errors: memory allocation failure.
/* BUGS
/*	Auto-resizing may change the address of the string data in
/*	a vstring structure. Beware of dangling pointers.
