+/** @defgroup buffer asio::buffer
+ *
+ * @brief The asio::buffer function is used to create a buffer object to
+ * represent raw memory, an array of POD elements, a vector of POD elements,
+ * or a std::string.
+ *
+ * A buffer object represents a contiguous region of memory as a 2-tuple
+ * consisting of a pointer and size in bytes. A tuple of the form <tt>{void*,
+ * size_t}</tt> specifies a mutable (modifiable) region of memory. Similarly, a
+ * tuple of the form <tt>{const void*, size_t}</tt> specifies a const
+ * (non-modifiable) region of memory. These two forms correspond to the classes
+ * mutable_buffer and const_buffer, respectively. To mirror C++'s conversion
+ * rules, a mutable_buffer is implicitly convertible to a const_buffer, and the
+ * opposite conversion is not permitted.
+ *
+ * The simplest use case involves reading or writing a single buffer of a
+ * specified size:
+ *
+ * @code sock.send(asio::buffer(data, size)); @endcode
+ *
+ * In the above example, the return value of asio::buffer meets the
+ * requirements of the ConstBufferSequence concept so that it may be directly
+ * passed to the socket's write function. A buffer created for modifiable
+ * memory also meets the requirements of the MutableBufferSequence concept.
+ *
+ * An individual buffer may be created from a builtin array, std::vector,
+ * std::array or boost::array of POD elements. This helps prevent buffer
+ * overruns by automatically determining the size of the buffer:
+ *
+ * @code char d1[128];
+ * size_t bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d1));
+ *
+ * std::vector<char> d2(128);
+ * bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d2));
+ *
+ * std::array<char, 128> d3;
+ * bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d3));
+ *
+ * boost::array<char, 128> d4;
+ * bytes_transferred = sock.receive(asio::buffer(d4)); @endcode
+ *
+ * In all three cases above, the buffers created are exactly 128 bytes long.
+ * Note that a vector is @e never automatically resized when creating or using
+ * a buffer. The buffer size is determined using the vector's <tt>size()</tt>
+ * member function, and not its capacity.
+ *
+ * @par Accessing Buffer Contents
+ *
+ * The contents of a buffer may be accessed using the @c data() and @c size()
+ * member functions:
+ *
+ * @code asio::mutable_buffer b1 = ...;
+ * std::size_t s1 = b1.size();
+ * unsigned char* p1 = static_cast<unsigned char*>(b1.data());
+ *
+ * asio::const_buffer b2 = ...;
+ * std::size_t s2 = b2.size();
+ * const void* p2 = b2.data(); @endcode
+ *
+ * The @c data() member function permits violations of type safety, so
+ * uses of it in application code should be carefully considered.
+ *
+ * For convenience, a @ref buffer_size function is provided that works with
+ * both buffers and buffer sequences (that is, types meeting the
+ * ConstBufferSequence or MutableBufferSequence type requirements). In this
+ * case, the function returns the total size of all buffers in the sequence.
+ *
+ * @par Buffer Copying
+ *
+ * The @ref buffer_copy function may be used to copy raw bytes between
+ * individual buffers and buffer sequences.
+*
+ * In particular, when used with the @ref buffer_size function, the @ref
+ * buffer_copy function can be used to linearise a sequence of buffers. For
+ * example:
+ *
+ * @code vector<const_buffer> buffers = ...;
+ *
+ * vector<unsigned char> data(asio::buffer_size(buffers));
+ * asio::buffer_copy(asio::buffer(data), buffers); @endcode
+ *
+ * Note that @ref buffer_copy is implemented in terms of @c memcpy, and
+ * consequently it cannot be used to copy between overlapping memory regions.
+ *
+ * @par Buffer Invalidation
+ *
+ * A buffer object does not have any ownership of the memory it refers to. It
+ * is the responsibility of the application to ensure the memory region remains
+ * valid until it is no longer required for an I/O operation. When the memory
+ * is no longer available, the buffer is said to have been invalidated.
+ *
+ * For the asio::buffer overloads that accept an argument of type
+ * std::vector, the buffer objects returned are invalidated by any vector
+ * operation that also invalidates all references, pointers and iterators
+ * referring to the elements in the sequence (C++ Std, 23.2.4)
+ *
+ * For the asio::buffer overloads that accept an argument of type
+ * std::basic_string, the buffer objects returned are invalidated according to
+ * the rules defined for invalidation of references, pointers and iterators
+ * referring to elements of the sequence (C++ Std, 21.3).
+ *
+ * @par Buffer Arithmetic
+ *
+ * Buffer objects may be manipulated using simple arithmetic in a safe way
+ * which helps prevent buffer overruns. Consider an array initialised as
+ * follows:
+ *
+ * @code boost::array<char, 6> a = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' }; @endcode
+ *
+ * A buffer object @c b1 created using:
+ *
+ * @code b1 = asio::buffer(a); @endcode
+ *
+ * represents the entire array, <tt>{ 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' }</tt>. An
+ * optional second argument to the asio::buffer function may be used to
+ * limit the size, in bytes, of the buffer:
+ *
+ * @code b2 = asio::buffer(a, 3); @endcode
+ *
+ * such that @c b2 represents the data <tt>{ 'a', 'b', 'c' }</tt>. Even if the
+ * size argument exceeds the actual size of the array, the size of the buffer
+ * object created will be limited to the array size.
+ *
+ * An offset may be applied to an existing buffer to create a new one:
+ *
+ * @code b3 = b1 + 2; @endcode
+ *
+ * where @c b3 will set to represent <tt>{ 'c', 'd', 'e' }</tt>. If the offset
+ * exceeds the size of the existing buffer, the newly created buffer will be
+ * empty.
+ *
+ * Both an offset and size may be specified to create a buffer that corresponds
+ * to a specific range of bytes within an existing buffer:
+ *
+ * @code b4 = asio::buffer(b1 + 1, 3); @endcode
+ *
+ * so that @c b4 will refer to the bytes <tt>{ 'b', 'c', 'd' }</tt>.
+ *
+ * @par Buffers and Scatter-Gather I/O
+ *
+ * To read or write using multiple buffers (i.e. scatter-gather I/O), multiple
+ * buffer objects may be assigned into a container that supports the
+ * MutableBufferSequence (for read) or ConstBufferSequence (for write) concepts:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * char d1[128];
+ * std::vector<char> d2(128);
+ * boost::array<char, 128> d3;
+ *
+ * boost::array<mutable_buffer, 3> bufs1 = {
+ *   asio::buffer(d1),
+ *   asio::buffer(d2),
+ *   asio::buffer(d3) };
+ * bytes_transferred = sock.receive(bufs1);
+ *
+ * std::vector<const_buffer> bufs2;
+ * bufs2.push_back(asio::buffer(d1));
+ * bufs2.push_back(asio::buffer(d2));
+ * bufs2.push_back(asio::buffer(d3));
+ * bytes_transferred = sock.send(bufs2); @endcode

+ *
+ * The @c buffer_copy function is available in two forms:
+ *
+ * @li A 2-argument form: @c buffer_copy(target, source)
+ *
+ * @li A 3-argument form: @c buffer_copy(target, source, max_bytes_to_copy)
+ *
+ * Both forms return the number of bytes actually copied. The number of bytes
+ * copied is the lesser of:
+ *
+ * @li @c buffer_size(target)
+ *
+ * @li @c buffer_size(source)
+ *
+ * @li @c If specified, @c max_bytes_to_copy.
+ *
+ * This prevents buffer overflow, regardless of the buffer sizes used in the
+ * copy operation.
+ *
+ * Note that @ref buffer_copy is implemented in terms of @c memcpy, and
