 *
 * pqexpbuffer.c
 *
 * PQExpBuffer provides an indefinitely-extensible string data type.
 * It can be used to buffer either ordinary C strings (null-terminated text)
 * or arbitrary binary data.  All storage is allocated with malloc().
 *
 * This module is essentially the same as the backend's StringInfo data type,
 * but it is intended for use in frontend libpq and client applications.
 * Thus, it does not rely on palloc() nor elog(), nor psprintf.c which
 * will exit() on error.
 *
 * It does rely on vsnprintf(); if configure finds that libc doesn't provide
 * a usable vsnprintf(), then a copy of our own implementation of it will
 * be linked into libpq.
