2.14 frystyk 17: This module implements a flexible array. It is a general utility
18: module. A chunk is a structure which may be extended. These routines
19: create and append data to chunks, automatically reallocating them as
20: necessary. It is garanteed that the array is <B>'\0'</B> terminated
21: at all times, so the terminating function, <A
22: HREF="HTChunk.html#Terminate">HTChunkTerminate</A> is only necessary
23: to adjust the size in the chunk structure (the <B>'\0'</B> counts as a
24: character when counting the size of the chunk. <P>
