NAME

       buffer_fromsa - initialize buffer structure from stralloc

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/buffer.h>

       void buffer_fromsa(buffer* b,const stralloc* sa);

DESCRIPTION

       buffer_fromsa  makes  a virtual read buffer from a stralloc.  The buffer reading functions
       will be able to read until the end of the data in the  stralloc,  then  signal  EOF.   The
       buffer does not have its own buffer space, it reuses the one in the stralloc.

       Do  not touch the stralloc until you are done with the buffer!  In particular, do not call
       stralloc_free on it!

       Reading data from the buffer will not change the stralloc.
