* SILC Buffer Format API provides functions for formatting different data
* types into a buffer and retrieving different data types from a buffer
- * into specified data types. It is especially useful to format packets,
+ * into specified data types. It is especially useful to encode packets,
* protocol payloads and such.
*
+ * As the SilcBuffer API is not thread-safe these routines may not be used
+ * in multithreaded environment with a same SilcBuffer context without
+ * concurrency control.
+ *
+ * EXAMPLE
+ *
+ * SilcBufferStruct buffer;
+ *
+ * memset(&buffer, 0, sizeof(buffer));
+ * ret = silc_buffer_format(&buffer,
+ * SILC_STR_UINT32(intval),
+ * SILC_STR_UINT8(charval),
+ * SILC_STR_UINT64(longintval),
+ * SILC_STR_UINT16(str_len),
+ * SILC_STR_DATA(str, str_len),
+ * SILC_STR_END);

+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * Formatting function callback given with SILC_STR_FUNC type. The

+ * silc_buffer_senlarge before it adds the data to the buffer to make
+ * sure that it has enough space. The buffer->head points to the
+ * start of the buffer and silc_buffer_headlen() gives the length
+ * of the currently formatted data area. It is also possible to use
+ * silc_buffer_sformat with `buffer' which will enlarge the buffer if
+ * needed.
+ *
+ * The `value' is the value given to SILC_STR_FUNC that is to be formatted
+ * into the buffer. It may be NULL if the function is not formatting
+ * new data into the buffer. The `context' is caller specific context.
+ * Returns -1 on error and length of the formatted value otherwise, and

+ * NAME

+ * #define SILC_STR_FUNC() ...
+ *
+ * DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * SilcBuffer formatting.
+ *
+ * Formatting: SILC_STR_FUNC(function, void *value, void *context)
+ * Unformatting: SILC_STR_FUNC(function, void **value, void *context)
+ *
+ * This type can be used to call the `function' of the type
+ * SilcBufferFormatFunc or SilcBufferUnformatFunc to encode or decode
+ * the `value'. In encoding the `value' will be passed to the `function'
+ * and can be encoded into the buffer. The buffer will be passed as
+ * well to the `function' at the location where SILC_STR_FUNC is placed
+ * in formatting. The `context' delivers caller specific context to
+ * the `function'
+ *
+ * In unformatting the `function' will decode the encoded type and
+ * return it to `value' pointer. The decoding function should decide
+ * itself whether to allocate or not the decoded value.
+ *
+ * The `function' does not have to encode anything and passing `value'
+ * as NULL is allowed. The `function' could for example modify the
+ * existing buffer.
+ *
+ * EXAMPLE
+ *
+ * // Encode payload, encrypt and compute MAC.
+ * silc_buffer_format(buf,
+ * SILC_STR_FUNC(foo_encode_id, id, ctx),
+ * SILC_STR_UINT16(len),
+ * SILC_STR_DATA(data, len),
+ * SILC_STR_FUNC(foo_buf_encrypt, NULL, key),
+ * SILC_STR_FUNC(foo_buf_hmac, NULL, hmac),
+ * SILC_STR_DATA(iv, iv_len);
+ * SILC_STR_END);
+ *
+ * // Check MAC, decrypt and decode payload
+ * silc_buffer_unformat(buf,
+ * SILC_STR_FUNC(foo_buf_hmac, NULL, hmac),
+ * SILC_STR_FUNC(foo_buf_decrypt, NULL, key),
+ * SILC_STR_FUNC(foo_decode_id, &id, ctx),
+ * SILC_STR_UINT16(&len),
+ * SILC_STR_END);

*
* Advance the buffer to the end of the data after the formatting is
* done. In normal operation when the formatted data is written the
- * buffer is located at the start of the data. With SILC_STR_ADVANCE
- * the buffer will be located at the end of the data. This makes it
+ * buffer is positioned at the start of the data. With SILC_STR_ADVANCE
+ * the buffer will be positioned at the end of the data. This makes it
* easy to add new data immediately after the previously added data.
+ * The SILC_STR_ADVANCE may also be used in unformatting.
*
* EXAMPLE
*
* // Add read data to the buffer
* silc_buffer_format(buffer,
* SILC_STR_ADVANCE,
- * SILC_STR_UI_XNSTRING(buf, len),
+ * SILC_STR_DATA(buf, len),
* SILC_STR_END);
* } while (len > 0);
*
* // Move to beginning of buffer
- * silc_buffer_push(buffer, silc_buffer_truelen(buffer));
+ * silc_buffer_start(buffer);
