/*
 * 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 the fixed buffer runs out of room, the buffer will be set to an error
 * state which can be detected with k5_buf_status.  Data in a buffer is
 * terminated with a zero byte so that it can be used as a C string.
 *
 * k5buf structures are usually stack-allocated.  Do not put k5buf structure
 * pointers into public APIs.  It is okay to reference the data and len fields
 * of a buffer (they will be NULL/0 if the buffer is in an error state), but do
 * not change them.
