    32  * Advanced buffer implementation.
    33  * 
    34  * Instances of UcxBuffer can be used to read from or to write to like one
    35  * would do with a stream. This allows the use of ucx_stream_copy() to copy
    36  * contents from one buffer to another.
    37  * 
    38  * Some features for convenient use of the buffer
    39  * can be enabled. See the documentation of the macro constants for more
    40  * information.
