24 * MEMBUF - an auto-growing string buffer
26 * With OpenOCD often, one must write code that sends text to
27 * different places.. the historical command_ctx, or JIM output,
28 * and/or other places.
30 * This is a simple 'string buffer' that auto-grows.
32 * More correctly put, this is a "memory buffer"
33 * it may contain binary data
