+@page overview_bufferclasses Buffer Classes
- wxWidgets uses two classes of classes for dealing with buffers in memory.
+wxWidgets uses two classes of classes for dealing with buffers in memory.
- The first is one for dealing with character buffers, namely wxCharBuffer
- for char pointer or multi-byte c strings and wxWCharBuffer for wchar_t pointer
- or wide character c strings.

- Secondly, wxWidgets uses, although only rarely currently, wxMemoryBuffer
- for dealing with raw buffers in memory.

- @b General Usage
- As mentioned, wxCharBuffer and its wide character variant wxWCharBuffer deal
- with c strings in memory. They have two constructors, one in which you pass
- the c string you want them to have a copy of, and another where you specify
- the size of the buffer in memory in characters you want.
+@subsection overview_bufferclasses_xcb_general General Usage
- wxCharBuffer and its variant only contain the c string as a member, so they
- can be used safely to c functions with variable arguments such as printf.
- They also contain standard assignment, character access operators and a copy constructor.

- @b Destruction
- It should be noted that on destruction wxCharBuffer and its wide character
- variant delete the c string that hold onto. If you want to get the pointer
- to the buffer and don't want wxCharBuffer to delete it on destruction,
- use the member function release to do so.
