NAME

       buffer_peek - return pointer to string in buffer

SYNTAX

       #include <buffer.h>

       int buffer_peek(buffer* b);

DESCRIPTION

       buffer_peek returns a pointer to the first byte of the string in the buffer.

EXAMPLE

       buffer_feed,  buffer_peek  and buffer_seek can be used for efficient reading loops, nearly
       the same speed as calling op directly:

         for (;;) {
           r = buffer_feed(&b);
           if (r <= 0) return r;
           x = buffer_peek(&b);
           dosomething(x,r);
           buffer_seek(&b,r);
         }
