| class HBufC16 : public TBufCBase16 |
16-bit heap descriptor.
This is a descriptor class which provides a buffer of fixed length, allocated on the heap, for containing and accessing data.
The class is intended for instantiation.
Heap descriptors have the important property that they can be made larger or smaller, changing the size of the descriptor buffer. This is achieved by reallocating the descriptor. Unlike the behaviour of dynamic buffers, reallocation is not done automatically.
Data is intended to be accessed, but not modified; however, it can be completely replaced using the assignment operators of this class. The base class ( TDesC16 ) provides the functions through which the data is accessed.
The descriptor is hosted by a heap cell, and the 16-bit data that the descriptor represents is part of the descriptor object itself. The size of the cell depends on the requested maximum length of the descriptor buffer when the descriptor is created or re-allocated.
It is important to note that the size of the allocated cell, and, therefore, the resulting maximum length of the descriptor, may be larger than requested due to the way memory is allocated in Symbian OS. The amount by which this may be rounded up depends on the platform and build type.

Creates and returns a 16-bit modifiable pointer descriptor for the data represented by this 16-bit heap descriptor.
The content of a heap descriptor normally cannot be altered, other than by complete replacement of the data. Creating a modifiable pointer descriptor provides a way of changing the data.
The modifiable pointer descriptor is set to point to this heap descriptor's data.
The length of the modifiable pointer descriptor is set to the length of this heap descriptor.
The maximum length of the modifiable pointer descriptor is set to the length of the heap descriptor's buffer. Note that the maximum length is the length of the descriptor buffer in the allocated host heap cell; this may be greater than the maximum length requested when this descriptor was originally created or last re-allocated.
When data is modified through this new pointer descriptor, the lengths of both it and this heap descriptor are changed.
Note that it is a common mistake to use Des() to create a TDesC16 & reference. While not incorrect, it is simpler and much more efficient to simply dereference the heap descriptor.
| IMPORT_C HBufC16 * | New | ( | TInt | aMaxLength | ) | [static] |
Creates, and returns a pointer to, a new 16-bit heap descriptor.
The heap descriptor is empty and its length is zero.
Data can, subsequently, be assigned into it using the assignment operators.
| TInt aMaxLength | The requested maximum length of the descriptor. Note that the resulting heap cell size and, therefore, the resulting maximum length of the descriptor may be larger than requested. |
| IMPORT_C HBufC16 * | NewL | ( | TInt | aMaxLength | ) | [static] |
Creates, and returns a pointer to, a new 16-bit heap descriptor, and leaves on failure.
The heap descriptor is empty and its length is zero.
Data can, subsequently, be assigned into it using the assignment operators.
| TInt aMaxLength | The requested maximum length of the descriptor. Note that the resulting heap cell size and, therefore, the resulting maximum length of the descriptor may be larger than requested. |

| IMPORT_C HBufC16 * | NewLC | ( | TInt | aMaxLength | ) | [static] |
Creates, adds a pointer onto the cleanup stack and returns a pointer to, a new 16-bit heap descriptor; leaves on failure.
The heap descriptor is empty and its length is zero.
Data can, subsequently, be assigned into it using the assignment operators.
| TInt aMaxLength | The requested maximum length of the descriptor. Note that the resulting heap cell size and, therefore, the resulting maximum length of the descriptor may be larger than requested. |
