(** Byte buffer.
A dynamic vector of bytes that doesn't hide its internal from you.
Same use case as [Buffer.t] but with more power.
@since 3.7
*)
type t = {
mutable bs: bytes; (** The backing bytes buffer *)
mutable len: int;
(** Length of the "active" slice in [bs]. The actual content
of the buffer is [bs[0]..bs[len-1]]. What comes after
is undefined garbage. *)

The definition is public since NEXT_RELEASE . *)

(** [is_empty b] is [length b=0] *)

(** Current capacity (size of the array returned by {!bytes}) *)
val bytes : t -> bytes
(** Access the underlying byte buffer. This buffer can change after
operations that affect the capacity (e.g. {!add_char}). *)

@raise Invalid_argument if this requires the buffer to grow beyond system limits. *)

(** [ensure_free buf n] ensures that the free space at the end of the
buffer is at least [n].
@raise Invalid_argument if this requires the buffer to grow beyond system limits. *)

(** [shrink_to buf n] reduces [length buf] to at most [n].
Does nothing if the length is already <= n. *)

The slice shares the same byte array as [buf] (until [buf] is resized).
