NAME

       buffer_fromarray - initialize buffer structure from array

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/array.h> #include <libowfat/buffer.h>

       void buffer_fromarray(buffer* b,array* a);

DESCRIPTION

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

       Do not touch the array until you are done with the buffer!

       Reading data from the buffer will not change the stralloc.
