In general I would suggest you try to use http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlreader.html#xmlReaderNewIO i.e. don't manipulate the buffer directly but let libxml2 callbacks call you to fill data in as needed instead. Now if you want to play with the internals, you can, libxml2 exposes them, but I can't garantee your code won't break something, only solid testing and careful analysis can really give insurance over such tweaking, Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
