+\fR.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+These functions provide bounds checked access to a region of memory
+where data is being read or written.
+They are based on, and similar to, the
+isc_buffer_
+functions in the ISC library.
+.PP
+A buffer is a region of memory, together with a set of related
+subregions.
+The \fBused region\fR and the
+\fBavailable\fR region are disjoint, and
+their union is the buffer's region.
+The used region extends from the beginning of the buffer region to the
+last used byte.
+The available region extends from one byte greater than the last used
+byte to the end of the buffer's region.
+The size of the used region can be changed using various
+buffer commands.
+Initially, the used region is empty.
+.PP
+The used region is further subdivided into two disjoint regions: the
+\fBconsumed region\fR and the \fBremaining region\fR.
+The union of these two regions is the used region.
+The consumed region extends from the beginning of the used region to
+the byte before the \fBcurrent\fR offset (if any).
+The \fBremaining\fR region the current pointer to the end of the used
+region.
+The size of the consumed region can be changed using various
+buffer commands.
+Initially, the consumed region is empty.
+.PP
+The \fBactive region\fR is an (optional) subregion of the remaining
+region.
+It extends from the current offset to an offset in the
+remaining region.
+Initially, the active region is empty.
+If the current offset advances beyond the chosen offset,
+the active region will also be empty.

+.PP
+\fBlwres_buffer_init()\fR
+initializes the
+\fBlwres_buffer_t\fR
+\fI*b\fR
+and assocates it with the memory region of size
+\fIlength\fR
+bytes starting at location
+\fIbase.\fR
+.PP
+\fBlwres_buffer_invalidate()\fR
+marks the buffer
+\fI*b\fR
+as invalid. Invalidating a buffer after use is not required,
+but makes it possible to catch its possible accidental use.
+.PP
+The functions
+\fBlwres_buffer_add()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_buffer_subtract()\fR
+respectively increase and decrease the used space in
+buffer
+\fI*b\fR
+by
+\fIn\fR
+bytes.
+\fBlwres_buffer_add()\fR
+checks for buffer overflow and
+\fBlwres_buffer_subtract()\fR
+checks for underflow.
+These functions do not allocate or deallocate memory.
+They just change the value of
+\fBused\fR.
+.PP
+A buffer is re-initialised by
+\fBlwres_buffer_clear()\fR.
+The function sets
+\fBused\fR ,
+\fBcurrent\fR
+and
+\fBactive\fR
+to zero.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_buffer_first\fR
+makes the consumed region of buffer
+\fI*p\fR
+empty by setting
+\fBcurrent\fR
+to zero (the start of the buffer).
+.PP
+\fBlwres_buffer_forward()\fR
+increases the consumed region of buffer
+\fI*b\fR
+by
+\fIn\fR
+bytes, checking for overflow.
+Similarly,
+\fBlwres_buffer_back()\fR
+decreases buffer
+\fIb\fR's
+consumed region by
+\fIn\fR
+bytes and checks for underflow.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_buffer_getuint8()\fR
+reads an unsigned 8-bit integer from
+\fI*b\fR
+and returns it.
+\fBlwres_buffer_putuint8()\fR
+writes the unsigned 8-bit integer
+\fIval\fR
+to buffer
+\fI*b\fR.
+.PP
+\fBlwres_buffer_getuint16()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_buffer_getuint32()\fR
+are identical to
+\fBlwres_buffer_putuint8()\fR
+except that they respectively read an unsigned 16-bit or 32-bit integer
+in network byte order from
+\fIb\fR.
+Similarly,
+\fBlwres_buffer_putuint16()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_buffer_putuint32()\fR
+writes the unsigned 16-bit or 32-bit integer
+\fIval\fR
+to buffer
+\fIb\fR,
+in network byte order.
+.PP
+Arbitrary amounts of data are read or written from a lightweight
+resolver buffer with
+\fBlwres_buffer_getmem()\fR
+and
+\fBlwres_buffer_putmem()\fR
+respectively.
+\fBlwres_buffer_putmem()\fR
+copies
+\fIlength\fR
+bytes of memory at
+\fIbase\fR
+to
+\fIb\fR.
+Conversely,
+\fBlwres_buffer_getmem()\fR
+copies
+\fIlength\fR
+bytes of memory from
+\fIb\fR
+to
+\fIbase\fR.
