14A {\bf wxMemoryBuffer} is a useful data structure for storing arbitrary sized blocks
15of memory. wxMemoryBuffer guarantees deletion of the memory block when the object
16is destroyed.

29
30\func{}{wxMemoryBuffer}{\param{const wxMemoryBuffer\&}{ src}}
31
32Copy constructor, refcounting is used for performance , but wxMemoryBuffer
33is not a copy-on-write structure so changes made to one buffer effect
34all copies made from it.
35
36\func{}{wxMemoryBuffer}{\param{size\_t}{ size}}
37
38Create a new buffer.
39
40\docparam{size}{size of new buffer.}
41
42\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::GetData}\label{wxmemorybuffergetdata}
43
44\func{void* }{GetData}{\void}
45
46Return a pointer to the data in the buffer.
47
48\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::GetBufSize}\label{wxmemorybuffergetbufsize}
49
50\func{size\_t}{GetBufSize}{\void}
51
52Returns the size of the buffer.
53
54\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::GetDataLen}\label{wxmemorybuffergetdatalen}
55
56\func{size\_t}{GetDataLen}{\void}
57
58Returns the length of the valid data in the buffer.
59
60\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::SetBufSize}\label{wxmemorybuffersetbufsize}
61
62\func{void}{SetBufSize}{\param{size\_t}{ size}}
63
64Ensures the buffer has at least {\it size} bytes available.
65
66\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::SetDataLen}\label{wxmemorybuffersetdatalen}
67
68\func{void}{SetDataLen}{\param{size\_t}{ size}}
69
70Sets the length of the data stored in the buffer. Mainly useful for truncating existing data.
71
72\docparam{size}{New length of the valid data in the buffer. This is
73distinct from the allocated size}
74
75\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::GetWriteBuf}\label{wxmemorybuffergetwritebuf}
76
77\func{void *}{GetWriteBuf}{\param{size\_t}{ sizeNeeded}}
78
79Ensure the buffer is big enough and return a pointer to the
80buffer which can be used to directly write into the buffer
81up to {\it sizeNeeded} bytes.
82
83\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::UngetWriteBuf}\label{wxmemorybufferungetwritebuf}
84
85\func{void}{UngetWriteBuf}{\param{size\_t}{ sizeUsed}}
86
87Update the buffer after completing a direct write, which
88you must have used GetWriteBuf() to initialise.
89
90\docparam{sizeUsed}{The amount of data written in to buffer
91by the direct write}
92
93\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::GetAppendBuf}\label{wxmemorybuffergetappendbuf}
94
95\func{void *}{GetAppendBuf}{\param{size\_t}{ sizeNeeded}}
96
97Ensure that the buffer is big enough and return a pointer to the start
98of the empty space in the buffer. This pointer can be used to directly
99write data into the buffer, this new data will be appended to
100the existing data.
101
102\docparam{sizeNeeded}{Amount of extra space required in the buffer for
103the append operation}
104
105\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::UngetAppendBuf}\label{wxmemorybufferungetappendbuf}
106
107\func{void}{UngetAppendBuf}{\param{size\_t}{ sizeUsed}}
108
109Update the length after completing a direct append, which
110you must have used GetAppendBuf() to initialise.
111
112\docparam{sizeUsed}{This is the amount of new data that has been
113appended.}
114
115\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::AppendByte}\label{wxmemorybufferappendbyte}
116
117\func{void}{AppendByte}{\param{char}{ data}}
118
119Append a single byte to the buffer.
120
121\docparam{data}{New byte to append to the buffer.}
122
123\membersection{wxMemoryBuffer::AppendData}\label{wxmemorybufferappenddata}
124
125\func{void}{AppendData}{\param{void*}{ data}, \param{size\_t}{ len}}
126
127Single call to append a data block to the buffer.
128
129\docparam{data}{Pointer to block to append to the buffer.}
130\docparam{len}{Length of data to append.}
