.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
The \fBne_buffer_clear\fR function sets the string stored in \fIbuf\fR to be the empty string ("")\&.

.PP
The \fBne_buffer_altered\fR function must be used after the string stored in the buffer \fIbuf\fR is modified by directly rather than using \fBne_buffer_append\fR(3), \fBne_buffer_zappend\fR(3) or \fBne_buffer_concat\fR(3)\&.

.PP
The \fBne_buffer_grow\fR function ensures that at least \fIsize\fR bytes are allocated for the string; this can be used if a large amount of data is going to be appended to the buffer and may result in more efficient memory allocation\&.
