 * A dynamic string is just a C string prefixed by a few control fields

 *
 * One should never declare a variable with this type, but only a pointer
 * to it, e.g.
 *
 * struct ast_str *ds;
 *
 * The pointer can be initialized with the following:
 *
 * ds = ast_str_create(init_len);
 *    creates a malloc()'ed dynamic string;
 *
 * ds = ast_str_alloca(init_len);
 *    creates a string on the stack (not very dynamic!).
 *
 * ds = ast_str_thread_get(ts, init_len)
 *    creates a malloc()'ed dynamic string associated to
 *    the thread-local storage key ts
 *
 * Finally, the string can be manipulated with the following:
 *
 * ast_str_set(&buf, max_len, fmt, ...)
 * ast_str_append(&buf, max_len, fmt, ...)
 *
 * and their varargs variant
 *
 * ast_str_set_va(&buf, max_len, ap)
 * ast_str_append_va(&buf, max_len, ap)
 *
 * \param max_len The maximum allowed capacity of the ast_str. Note that
 *  if the value of max_len is less than the current capacity of the
 *  ast_str (as returned by ast_str_size), then the parameter is effectively
 *  ignored.
 *    0 means unlimited, -1 means "at most the available space"
 *
 * \return All the functions return <0 in case of error, or the
 * length of the string added to the buffer otherwise. Note that
 * in most cases where an error is returned, characters ARE written
 * to the ast_str.
