Abstract base class for 8-bit non-modifiable descriptors.

The class encapsulates the data member containing the length of data
represented by an 8-bit descriptor. It also provides member functions through
which the data can be accessed, but not modified.

Data represented by this class is treated as a contiguous set of 8-bit (i.e. 
single byte) values or data items.

This class cannot be instantiated as it is intended to form part of a class 
hierarchy; it provides a well defined part of descriptor behaviour. It can, 
however, be passed as an argument type for functions which want access to 
descriptor data but do not need to modify that data.

8-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 (TDesC8) provides the functions through which the data is accessed.

The descriptor is hosted by a heap cell, and the 8-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.

class RBuf8 : public TDes8
/**
@publishedAll
@released

8 bit resizable buffer descriptor.

The class provides a buffer that contains, accesses and manipulates
TUint8 data. The buffer itself is on the heap, and is managed by the class.

Internally, RBuf8 behaves in one of two ways:

- as a TPtr8 descriptor type, where the buffer just contains data
- as a pointer to a heap descriptor, an HBufC8* type, where the buffer
  contains both	descriptor information and the data.

Note that the handling of the distinction is hidden from view.

An RBuf8 object can allocate its own buffer. Alternatively, it can take
ownership of a pre-existing section of allocated memory, or it can take
ownership of a pre-existing heap descriptor. It can also reallocate the buffer
to resize it. Regardless of the way in which the buffer has been allocated,
the RBuf8 object is responsible for freeing memory when the object itself is closed.

The class is intended for instantiation.

The class is derived from TDes8, which means that data can be both accessed
and modified. The base classes provide the functions through which the data is
accessed. In addition, an RBuf8 object can be passed to any function that is
prototyped to take a TDes8 or a TDesC8 type.
