+/*! \file stringbuf.h
+ * \brief The dynamic stringt buffer helper object.
+ *
+ * The string buffer object is a slim string handler. It implements
+ * a dynamically growing string and can be used whereever data needs
+ * to be appended to a string AND it is not known how large the
+ * resulting structure is. If you know the string size or can
+ * retrieve it quickly, you should NOT use the string buffer
+ * object - because it has some overhead not associated with direct
+ * string manipulations.
+ *
+ * This object is used to grow a string. For performance reasons,
+ * the termination \0 byte is only written after the caller
+ * indicates the string is completed.
+ *
+ * \author Rainer Gerhards <rgerhards@adiscon.com>
+ * \date 2003-08-08
+ * Initial version begun.
