Detailed Description

Functions to handle SSH buffers.

Function Documentation

void ssh_buffer_free ( struct ssh_buffer_struct *  buffer)
void* ssh_buffer_get_begin ( struct ssh_buffer_struct *  buffer)

Get a pointer on the head of a buffer.

Parameters
[in]bufferThe buffer to get the head pointer.
Returns
A data pointer on the head. It doesn't take the position into account.
Warning
Don't expect data to be nul-terminated.

buffer_get_len()
uint32_t ssh_buffer_get_len ( struct ssh_buffer_struct *  buffer)

Get the length of the buffer, not counting position.

Parameters
[in]bufferThe buffer to get the length from.
Returns
The length of the buffer.
See also
buffer_get()
struct ssh_buffer_struct* ssh_buffer_new ( void  )
void ssh_buffer_set_secure ( ssh_buffer  buffer)

Sets the buffer as secure.

A secure buffer will never leave cleartext data in the heap after being reallocated or freed.

Parameters
[in]bufferbuffer to set secure.
