42  * Buffer to print data progressively
43  *
44  * The string buffer grows as necessary and is always 0-terminated.
45  * The content of the string is never accessed, and thus is
46  * encoding-agnostic and can even hold binary data.
47  *
48  * Small buffers are kept in the structure itself, and thus require no
49  * memory allocation at all (unless the contents of the buffer is needed
50  * after the structure goes out of scope). This is almost as lightweight as
51  * declaring a local "char buf[512]".
52  *
53  * The length of the string can go beyond the allocated size: the buffer is
54  * then truncated, but the functions still keep account of the actual total
55  * length.
56  *
57  * In other words, buf->len can be greater than buf->size and records the
58  * total length of what would have been to the buffer if there had been
59  * enough memory.
60  *
61  * Append operations do not need to be tested for failure: if a memory
62  * allocation fails, data stop being appended to the buffer, but the length
63  * is still updated. This situation can be tested with
64  * av_bprint_is_complete().
65  *
66  * The size_max field determines several possible behaviours:
67  *
68  * size_max = -1 (= UINT_MAX) or any large value will let the buffer be
69  * reallocated as necessary, with an amortized linear cost.
70  *
71  * size_max = 0 prevents writing anything to the buffer: only the total
72  * length is computed. The write operations can then possibly be repeated in
73  * a buffer with exactly the necessary size
74  * (using size_init = size_max = len + 1).
75  *
76  * size_max = 1 is automatically replaced by the exact size available in the
77  * structure itself, thus ensuring no dynamic memory allocation. The
78  * internal buffer is large enough to hold a reasonable paragraph of text,
79  * such as the current paragraph.
