2
3A growable buffer of bytes, always NUL-terminated so it is text too, with `printf`; `printf` into a new
4string (`mfmt`); `mstrdup`; and allocation that aborts instead of returning NULL. The jobs and blobs
5packages build their wire frames, logs and control answers with it, as the Rust builds `Vec<u8>` and
6`String`.
