+
+  Functions for buffering data for network sending or receiving.
+
+  An evbuffer can be used for preparing data before sending it to
+  the network or conversely for reading data from the network.
+  Evbuffers try to avoid memory copies as much as possible.  As a
+  result, evbuffers can be used to pass data around without actually
+  incurring the overhead of copying the data.
+
+  A new evbuffer can be allocated with evbuffer_new(), and can be
+  freed with evbuffer_free().  Most users will be using evbuffers via
+  the bufferevent interface.  To access a bufferevent's evbuffers, use
+  bufferevent_get_input() and bufferevent_get_output().
+
+  There are several guidelines for using evbuffers.
+
+  - if you already know how much data you are going to add as a result
+    of calling evbuffer_add() multiple times, it makes sense to use
+    evbuffer_expand() first to make sure that enough memory is allocated
+    before hand.
+
+  - evbuffer_add_buffer() adds the contents of one buffer to the other
+    without incurring any unnecessary memory copies.
+
+  - evbuffer_add() and evbuffer_add_buffer() do not mix very well:
+    if you use them, you will wind up with fragmented memory in your
+	buffer.
+
+  - For high-performance code, you may want to avoid copying data into and out
+    of buffers.  You can skip the copy step by using
+    evbuffer_reserve_space()/evbuffer_commit_space() when writing into a
+    buffer, and evbuffer_peek() when reading.
+
+  In Libevent 2.0 and later, evbuffers are represented using a linked
+  list of memory chunks, with pointers to the first and last chunk in
+  the chain.
+
+  As the contents of an evbuffer can be stored in multiple different
+  memory blocks, it cannot be accessed directly.  Instead, evbuffer_pullup()
+  can be used to force a specified number of bytes to be contiguous. This
+  will cause memory reallocation and memory copies if the data is split
+  across multiple blocks.  It is more efficient, however, to use
+  evbuffer_peek() if you don't require that the memory to be contiguous.
