 <p>Shifts the contents of the buffer by the given offset. </p>
 <p>If the offset is positive, the contents are shifted to the right. If auto extension is enabled, the buffer grows, if necessary. In case the auto extension fails, this function returns a non-zero value and no contents are changed. If auto extension is disabled, the contents that do not fit into the buffer are discarded.</p>
 <p>If the offset is negative, the contents are shifted to the left where the first <code>shift</code> bytes are discarded. The new size of the buffer is the old size minus the absolute shift value. If this value is larger than the buffer size, the buffer is emptied (but not cleared, see the security note below).</p>
 <p>The buffer position gets shifted alongside with the content but is kept within the boundaries of the buffer.</p>
 <p><b>Security note:</b> the shifting operation does <em>not</em> erase the previously occupied memory cells. You can easily do that manually, e.g. by calling <code>memset(buffer-&gt;space, 0, shift)</code> for a right shift or <code>memset(buffer-&gt;size, 0, buffer-&gt;capacity-buffer-&gt;size)</code> for a left shift.</p>
