By convention, a function that frobs a foo_t should be called
foo_frob, and it should have a foo_t * as its first argument. But
for many of the buf_t functions, the buf_t was the final argument,
which is silly.
Our convention is that functions which manipulate a type T should be
named T_foo. But the buffer functions were super old, and followed
all kinds of conventions. Now they're uniform.
Here's the perl I used to do this:
\#!/usr/bin/perl -w -i -p
s/read_to_buf\(/buf_read_from_socket\(/;
s/flush_buf\(/buf_flush_to_socket\(/;
s/read_to_buf_tls\(/buf_read_from_tls\(/;
s/flush_buf_tls\(/buf_flush_to_tls\(/;
s/write_to_buf\(/buf_add\(/;
s/write_to_buf_compress\(/buf_add_compress\(/;
s/move_buf_to_buf\(/buf_move_to_buf\(/;
s/peek_from_buf\(/buf_peek\(/;
s/fetch_from_buf\(/buf_get_bytes\(/;
s/fetch_from_buf_line\(/buf_get_line\(/;
s/fetch_from_buf_line\(/buf_get_line\(/;
s/buf_remove_from_front\(/buf_drain\(/;
s/peek_buf_startswith\(/buf_peek_startswith\(/;
s/assert_buf_ok\(/buf_assert_ok\(/;
