/* The k5buf module is intended to allow multi-step string
   construction in a fixed or dynamic buffer without the need to check
   for a failure at each step (and without aborting on malloc
   failure).  If an allocation failure occurs or if the fixed buffer
   runs out of room, the error will be discovered when the caller
   retrieves the C string value or checks the length of the resulting
   buffer.

   k5buf structures are stack-allocated, but are intended to be
   opaque, so do not access the fields directly.  This is a tool, not
   a way of life, so do not put k5buf structure pointers into the
   public API or into significant internal APIs. */
