...Buffer provides functions to read and write data of different built-in types, and to copy data to or from other Buffers. Depending on the target platform, extension functions allowing data exchange with platform-specific types are also available. A Buffer consists of segments organized as a linked list: segments allow reducing memory allocations during the buffer's expansion and copy, with the latter achieved by delegating or sharing the ownership over the underlying buffer's segments with other buffers.
