KCGI_BUF_WRITE(3)

NAME
kcgi_buf_write - put binary data into a kcgi buffer

LIBRARY
libkcgi

SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <kcgi.h>
enum kcgi_err
kcgi_buf_write(const char *buf, size_t sz, void *arg);

DESCRIPTION
Appends binary data buf of size sz to arg, which is cast to a struct kcgi_buf *. Buffers must be initialised to zero with memset(3) prior to first use. The buffer will always be NUL-terminated. Does nothing if buf is NULL or sz is zero.

The struct kcgi_buf structure has the following fields:

char *buf
    Buffer contents. This is always NUL-terminated, even if the data is binary. This buffer must be passed to free(3) after use.

size_t maxsz
    Allocated buffer size.

size_t sz
    Buffer current length not including the NUL terminator.

size_t growsz
    Amount of "slop" space in the buffer if it's reallocated. If set to zero, defaults to 1 KB.

RETURN VALUES
These functions return an enum kcgi_err indicating the error state: KCGI_OK for no error, KCGI_ENOMEM for an internal memory allocation failure.

EXAMPLES
The following creates a simple NUL-terminated buffer. It does not perform any error checking.

    struct kcgi_buf buf;
    memset(&buf, 0, sizeof(struct kcgi_buf));
    kcgi_buf_write("xyzzy", 5, &buf);
    puts(buf.buf); /* Emits "xyzzy" */
    free(buf.buf);
