extern Buffer ∗ AllocateBuffer(element_size, initial_size)

DESCRIPTION

The AllocateBuffer function allocates a Buffer for elements of the given element_size.  The used member of the Buffer is set to zero and the size member is set to the value of initial_size.  If initial_size is zero the pointer p is set to NULL, otherwise the amount of space required (initial_size ∗ element_size) is allocated and the pointer p is set to point to this space.  The function returns the pointer to the allocated Buffer.
