Pietro Cerutti 646b68f04d - Remove underscores from the internal structure name, as it doesn't collide
with the user's namespace.

- Correct size and position variables type from long to size_t.

- Do not set errno to ENOMEM on malloc failure, as malloc already does so.

- Implement the concept of "buffer data length", which mandates what SEEK_END
  refers to and the allowed extent for a read.

- Use NULL as read-callback if the buffer is opened in write-only mode.
  Conversely, use NULL as write-callback when opened in read-only mode.

- Implement the handling of the ``b'' character in the mode argument. A binary
  buffer differs from a text buffer (default mode if ``b'' is omitted) in that
  NULL bytes are never appended to writes and that the "buffer data length"
  equals to the size of the buffer.

- Remove shall from the man page. Use indicative instead. Also, specify that
  the ``b'' flag does not conform with POSIX but is supported by glibc.

- Update the regression test so that the ``b'' functionality and the "buffer
  data length" concepts are tested.

- Minor style(9) corrections.

This directory tree contains tools used for the maintenance and
testing of FreeBSD.  There is no toplevel Makefile structure since
these tools are not meant to be built as part of the standard system,
though there may be individual Makefiles in some of the subdirs.

Please read the README files in the subdirs for further information.
