31 
32   Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving.
33 
34   An evbuffer can be used for preparing data before sending it to
35   the network or conversely for reading data from the network.
36   Evbuffers try to avoid memory copies as much as possible.  As a
37   result, evbuffers can be used to pass data around without actually
38   incurring the overhead of copying the data.
39 
40   A new evbuffer can be allocated with evbuffer_new(), and can be
41   freed with evbuffer_free().  Most users will be using evbuffers via
42   the bufferevent interface.  To access a bufferevent's evbuffers, use
43   bufferevent_get_input() and bufferevent_get_output().
44 
45   There are several guidelines for using evbuffers.
46 
47   - if you already know how much data you are going to add as a result
48     of calling evbuffer_add() multiple times, it makes sense to use
49     evbuffer_expand() first to make sure that enough memory is allocated
50     before hand.
51 
52   - evbuffer_add_buffer() adds the contents of one buffer to the other
53     without incurring any unnecessary memory copies.
54 
55   - evbuffer_add() and evbuffer_add_buffer() do not mix very well:
56     if you use them, you will wind up with fragmented memory in your
57 	buffer.
58 
59   - For high-performance code, you may want to avoid copying data into and out
60     of buffers.  You can skip the copy step by using
61     evbuffer_reserve_space()/evbuffer_commit_space() when writing into a
62     buffer, and evbuffer_peek() when reading.
63 
64   In Libevent 2.0 and later, evbuffers are represented using a linked
65   list of memory chunks, with pointers to the first and last chunk in
66   the chain.
67 
68   As the contents of an evbuffer can be stored in multiple different
69   memory blocks, it cannot be accessed directly.  Instead, evbuffer_pullup()
70   can be used to force a specified number of bytes to be contiguous. This
71   will cause memory reallocation and memory copies if the data is split
72   across multiple blocks.  It is more efficient, however, to use
73   evbuffer_peek() if you don't require that the memory to be contiguous.
