*
* StringInfo 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().

/*-------------------------
* StringInfoData holds information about an extensible string.
* data is the current buffer for the string (allocated with malloc).
* 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.
* cursor is initialized to zero by makeStringInfo or initStringInfo,
* but is not otherwise touched by the stringinfo.c routines.
* Some routines use it to scan through a StringInfo.

* There are two ways to create a StringInfo object initially:
*
* StringInfo stringptr = makeStringInfo();
* Both the StringInfoData and the data buffer are malloc'd.
*
* StringInfoData string;
* initStringInfo(&string);
* The data buffer is malloc'd but the StringInfoData is just local.
* This is the easiest approach for a StringInfo object that will
* only live as long as the current routine.
*
* To destroy a StringInfo, free() the data buffer, and then free() the
* StringInfoData if it was malloc'd. There's no special support for this.
*
* NOTE: some routines build up a string using StringInfo, and then
* release the StringInfoData but return the data string itself to their
* caller. At that point the data string looks like a plain malloc'd
* string.
