[section:DynamicBuffer DynamicBuffer requirements]
A dynamic buffer encapsulates memory storage that may be automatically resized
as required, where the memory is divided into an input sequence followed by an
output sequence. These memory regions are internal to the dynamic buffer, but
direct access to the elements is provided to permit them to be efficiently used
with I/O operations, such as the send or receive operations of a socket. Data
written to the output sequence of a dynamic buffer object is appended to the
input sequence of the same object.
The interface to this concept is intended to permit the following
implementation strategies:
* A single contiguous octet array, which is reallocated as necessary to
accommodate changes in the size of the octet sequence.
* A sequence of one or more octet arrays, where each array is of the same
size. Additional octet array objects are appended to the sequence to
accommodate changes in the size of the octet sequence.
* A sequence of one or more octet arrays of varying sizes. Additional octet
array objects are appended to the sequence to accommodate changes in the
size of the character sequence. This is the implementation approach
currently offered by [link beast.ref.basic_streambuf `basic_streambuf`].
In the table below:
* `X` denotes a dynamic buffer class.
* `a` denotes a value of type `X`.
* `c` denotes a (possibly const) value of type `X`.
* `n` denotes a value of type `std::size_t`.
* `T` denotes a type meeting the requirements for [@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/ConstBufferSequence.html `ConstBufferSequence`].
* `U` denotes a type meeting the requirements for [@http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/MutableBufferSequence.html `MutableBufferSequence`].

This type represents the memory associated with the input sequence.

[
Returns the permitted maximum of the sum of the sizes of the input
sequence and output sequence.

[`c.capacity()`]
[`std::size_t`]
[
Returns the maximum sum of the sizes of the input sequence and output
sequence that the dynamic buffer can hold without requiring reallocation.

[`c.data()`]
[`X::const_buffers_type`]
[
Returns a constant buffer sequence u that represents the memory
associated with the input sequence, and where `buffer_size(u) == size()`.
]
]
[
[`a.prepare(n)`]
[`X::mutable_buffers_type`]
[
Returns a mutable buffer sequence u representing the output sequence,
and where `buffer_size(u) == n`. The dynamic buffer reallocates memory
as required. All constant or mutable buffer sequences previously
obtained using `data()` or `prepare()` are invalidated.
Throws: `length_error` if `size() + n` exceeds `max_size()`.
]
]
[
[`a.commit(n)`]
[ ]
[
Appends `n` bytes from the start of the output sequence to the end of
the input sequence. The remainder of the output sequence is discarded.
If `n` is greater than the size of the output sequence, the entire
output sequence is appended to the input sequence. All constant or
mutable buffer sequences previously obtained using `data()` or
`prepare()` are invalidated.
]
]
[
[`a.consume(n)`]
[ ]
[
Removes `n` bytes from beginning of the input sequence. If `n` is
greater than the size of the input sequence, the entire input sequence
is removed. All constant or mutable buffer sequences previously
obtained using `data()` or `prepare()` are invalidated.
