/** @defgroup buffer asio::buffer
 *
 * @brief The asio::buffer function is used to create a buffer object to
 * represent raw memory, an array of POD elements, a vector of POD elements,
 * or a std::string.
 *
 * A buffer object represents a contiguous region of memory as a 2-tuple
 * consisting of a pointer and size in bytes. A tuple of the form <tt>{void*,
 * size_t}</tt> specifies a mutable (modifiable) region of memory. Similarly, a
 * tuple of the form <tt>{const void*, size_t}</tt> specifies a const
 * (non-modifiable) region of memory. These two forms correspond to the classes
 * mutable_buffer and const_buffer, respectively. To mirror C++'s conversion
 * rules, a mutable_buffer is implicitly convertible to a const_buffer, and the
 * opposite conversion is not permitted.
 *
 * The simplest use case involves reading or writing a single buffer of a
 * specified size:
 *
 * @code sock.send(asio::buffer(data, size)); @endcode
 *
 * In the above example, the return value of asio::buffer meets the
 * requirements of the ConstBufferSequence concept so that it may be directly
 * passed to the socket's write function. A buffer created for modifiable
 * memory also meets the requirements of the MutableBufferSequence concept.
 *
 * An individual buffer may be created from a builtin array, std::vector,
 * std::array or boost::array of POD elements. This helps prevent buffer
 * overruns by automatically determining the size of the buffer:
 *
 * @code char d1[128];
 * size_t bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d1));
 *
 * std::vector<char> d2(128);
 * bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d2));
 *
 * std::array<char, 128> d3;
 * bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d3));
 *
 * boost::array<char, 128> d4;
 * bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d4)); @endcode
 *
 * In all three cases above, the buffers created are exactly 128 bytes long.
 * Note that a vector is @e never automatically resized when creating or using
 * a buffer. The buffer size is determined using the vector's <tt>size()</tt>
 * member function, and not its capacity.
 *
 * @par Accessing Buffer Contents
 *
 * The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the @ref buffer_size and
 * @ref buffer_cast functions:
 *
 * @code asio::mutable_buffer b1 = ...;
 * std::size_t s1 = asio::buffer_size(b1);
 * unsigned char* p1 = asio::buffer_cast<unsigned char*>(b1);
 *
 * asio::const_buffer b2 = ...;
 * std::size_t s2 = asio::buffer_size(b2);
 * const void* p2 = asio::buffer_cast<const void*>(b2); @endcode
 *
 * The asio::buffer_cast function permits violations of type safety, so
 * uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.
 *
 * For convenience, the @ref buffer_size function also works on buffer
 * sequences (that is, types meeting the ConstBufferSequence or
 * MutableBufferSequence type requirements). In this case, the function returns
 * the total size of all buffers in the sequence.
 *
 * @par Buffer Copying
 *
 * The @ref buffer_copy function may be used to copy raw bytes between
 * individual buffers and buffer sequences.
 *
 * In particular, when used with the @ref buffer_size, the @ref buffer_copy
 * function can be used to linearise a sequence of buffers. For example:
 *
 * @code vector<const_buffer> buffers = ...;
 *
 * vector<unsigned char> data(asio::buffer_size(buffers));
 * asio::buffer_copy(asio::buffer(data), buffers); @endcode
 *
 * Note that @ref buffer_copy is implemented in terms of @c memcpy, and
 * consequently it cannot be used to copy between overlapping memory regions.
 *
 * @par Buffer Invalidation
 *
 * A buffer object does not have any ownership of the memory it refers to. It
 * is the responsibility of the application to ensure the memory region remains
 * valid until it is no longer required for an I/O operation. When the memory
 * is no longer available, the buffer is said to have been invalidated.
 *
 * For the asio::buffer overloads that accept an argument of type
 * std::vector, the buffer objects returned are invalidated by any vector
 * operation that also invalidates all references, pointers and iterators
 * referring to the elements in the sequence (C++ Std, 23.2.4)
 *
 * For the asio::buffer overloads that accept an argument of type
 * std::basic_string, the buffer objects returned are invalidated according to
 * the rules defined for invalidation of references, pointers and iterators
 * referring to elements of the sequence (C++ Std, 21.3).
 *
 * @par Buffer Arithmetic
 *
 * Buffer objects may be manipulated using simple arithmetic in a safe way
 * which helps prevent buffer overruns. Consider an array initialised as
 * follows:
 *
 * @code boost::array<char, 6> a = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' }; @endcode
 *
 * A buffer object @c b1 created using:
 *
 * @code b1 = asio::buffer(a); @endcode
 *
 * represents the entire array, <tt>{ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' }</tt>. An
 * optional second argument to the asio::buffer function may be used to
 * limit the size, in bytes, of the buffer:
 *
 * @code b2 = asio::buffer(a, 3); @endcode
 *
 * such that @c b2 represents the data <tt>{ 'a', 'b', 'c' }</tt>. Even if the
 * size argument exceeds the actual size of the array, the size of the buffer
 * object created will be limited to the array size.
 *
 * An offset may be applied to an existing buffer to create a new one:
 *
 * @code b3 = b1 + 2; @endcode
 *
 * where @c b3 will set to represent <tt>{ 'c', 'd', 'e' }</tt>. If the offset
 * exceeds the size of the existing buffer, the newly created buffer will be
 * empty.
 *
 * Both an offset and size may be specified to create a buffer that corresponds
 * to a specific range of bytes within an existing buffer:
 *
 * @code b4 = asio::buffer(b1 + 1, 3); @endcode
 *
 * so that @c b4 will refer to the bytes <tt>{ 'b', 'c', 'd' }</tt>.
 *
 * @par Buffers and Scatter-Gather I/O
 *
 * To read or write using multiple buffers (i.e. scatter-gather I/O), multiple
 * buffer objects may be assigned into a container that supports the
 * MutableBufferSequence (for read) or ConstBufferSequence (for write) concepts:
 *
 * @code
 * char d1[128];
 * std::vector<char> d2(128);
 * boost::array<char, 128> d3;
 *
 * boost::array<mutable_buffer, 3> bufs1 = {
 *   asio::buffer(d1),
 *   asio::buffer(d2),
 *   asio::buffer(d3) };
 * bytes_transferred = sock.receive(bufs1);
 *
 * std::vector<const_buffer> bufs2;
 * bufs2.push_back(asio::buffer(d1));
 * bufs2.push_back(asio::buffer(d2));
 * bufs2.push_back(asio::buffer(d3));
 * bytes_transferred = sock.send(bufs2); @endcode

 * @brief The asio::buffer_copy function is used to copy bytes from a
 * source buffer (or buffer sequence) to a target buffer (or buffer sequence).
 *
 * The @c buffer_copy function is available in two forms:
 *
 * @li A 2-argument form: @c buffer_copy(target, source)
 *
 * @li A 3-argument form: @c buffer_copy(target, source, max_bytes_to_copy)

 * Both forms return the number of bytes actually copied. The number of bytes
 * copied is the lesser of:
 *
 * @li @c buffer_size(target)
 *
 * @li @c buffer_size(source)
 *
 * @li @c If specified, @c max_bytes_to_copy.
 *
 * This prevents buffer overflow, regardless of the buffer sizes used in the
 * copy operation.
 *
 * Note that @ref buffer_copy is implemented in terms of @c memcpy, and
 * consequently it cannot be used to copy between overlapping memory regions.
