Spare Buffer

Crates.io Unlicense

A wrapper around Vec<T> that provides access to the "spare" capacity of the vector as a &mut[T] slice.

Useful to allocate "spare" capacity at the end of the underlying vector and fill it directly, e.g. by read()ing from a file or stream, without initialize the memory first. Once filled, the vector can be "extended" into the previously allocated spare capacity.
