+ * pqexpbuffer.h
+ * Declarations/definitions for "PQExpBuffer" functions.
+ *
+ * PQExpBuffer provides an indefinitely-extensible string data type.
+ * It can be used to buffer either ordinary C strings (null-terminated text)
+ * or arbitrary binary data. All storage is allocated with malloc().
+ *
+ * This module is essentially the same as the backend's StringInfo data type,
+ * but it is intended for use in frontend libpq and client applications.
+ * Thus, it does not rely on palloc() nor elog().
+ *
+ * It does rely on vsnprintf(); if configure finds that libc doesn't provide
+ * a usable vsnprintf(), then a copy of our own implementation of it will
+ * be linked into libpq.

+ * len is the current string length. There is guaranteed to be
+ * a terminating '\0' at data[len], although this is not very
+ * useful when the string holds binary data rather than text.
+ * maxlen is the allocated size in bytes of 'data', i.e. the maximum
+ * string size (including the terminating '\0' char) that we can
+ * currently store in 'data' without having to reallocate
+ * more space. We must always have maxlen > len.
+ *
+ * An exception occurs if we failed to allocate enough memory for the string
+ * buffer. In that case data points to a statically allocated empty string,
+ * and len = maxlen = 0.
