* stringinfo.c
*
* StringInfo provides an extensible string data type (currently limited to a
* length of 1GB). It can be used to buffer either ordinary C strings
* (null-terminated text) or arbitrary binary data. All storage is allocated
* with palloc() (falling back to malloc in frontend code).

*/
/* It's possible we could use a different value for this in frontend code */
/*
* makeStringInfo
*
* Create an empty 'StringInfoData' & return a pointer to it.
*/
/*
* initStringInfo
*
* Initialize a StringInfoData struct (with previously undefined contents)
* to describe an empty string.
*/
void
/*
* resetStringInfo
*
* Reset the StringInfo: the data buffer remains valid, but its
* previous content, if any, is cleared.
*
* Read-only StringInfos as initialized by initReadOnlyStringInfo cannot be
* reset.
*/
void
/*
* appendStringInfo
*
* Format text data under the control of fmt (an sprintf-style format string)
* and append it to whatever is already in str. More space is allocated
* to str if necessary. This is sort of like a combination of sprintf and
* strcat.
*/
void
/*
* appendStringInfoVA
*
* Attempt to format text data under the control of fmt (an sprintf-style
* format string) and append it to whatever is already in str. If successful
* return zero; if not (because there's not enough space), return an estimate
* of the space needed, without modifying str. Typically the caller should
* pass the return value to enlargeStringInfo() before trying again; see
* appendStringInfo for standard usage pattern.
*
* Caution: callers must be sure to preserve their entry-time errno
* when looping, in case the fmt contains "%m".
*
* XXX This API is ugly, but there seems no alternative given the C spec's
* restrictions on what can portably be done with va_list arguments: you have
* to redo va_start before you can rescan the argument list, and we can't do
* that from here.

int
/*
* appendStringInfoString
*
* Append a null-terminated string to str.
* Like appendStringInfo(str, "%s", s) but faster.
*/
void
/*
* appendStringInfoChar
*
* Append a single byte to str.
* Like appendStringInfo(str, "%c", ch) but much faster.
*/
void
/*
* appendStringInfoSpaces
*
* Append the specified number of spaces to a buffer.
*/
void
/*
* appendBinaryStringInfo
*
* Append arbitrary binary data to a StringInfo, allocating more space
* if necessary. Ensures that a trailing null byte is present.
*/
void
/*
* appendBinaryStringInfoNT
*
* Append arbitrary binary data to a StringInfo, allocating more space
* if necessary. Does not ensure a trailing null-byte exists.
*/
/*
* enlargeStringInfo
*
* Make sure there is enough space for 'needed' more bytes
* ('needed' does not include the terminating null).
*
* External callers usually need not concern themselves with this, since
* all stringinfo.c routines do it automatically. However, if a caller
* knows that a StringInfo will eventually become X bytes large, it
* can save some palloc overhead by enlarging the buffer before starting
* to store data in it.
*
* NB: In the backend, because we use repalloc() to enlarge the buffer, the
* string buffer will remain allocated in the same memory context that was
* current when initStringInfo was called, even if another context is now
* current. This is the desired and indeed critical behavior!
*/
void
/*
* destroyStringInfo
*
* Frees a StringInfo and its buffer (opposite of makeStringInfo()).
* This must only be called on palloc'd StringInfos.
