58/*----- Rationale ---------------------------------------------------------*
59 *
60 * This file declares what is hopefully a fairly useful collection of
61 * primitive string handling functions. The idea is that the strings
62 * allocate memory for themselves as required. The @dstr@ routines don't
63 * assume any sort of terminator character, so arbitrary binary data can
64 * be stored in a dynamic string. With luck, this should put a stop to
65 * any buffer overflow problems.
