/* Slice API

   A slice represents a contiguous reference counted array of bytes.
   It is cheap to take references to a slice, and it is cheap to create a
   slice pointing to a subset of another slice.

   The data-structure for slices is exposed here to allow non-gpr code to
   build slices from whatever data they have available.

   When defining interfaces that handle slices, care should be taken to define
   reference ownership semantics (who should call unref?) and mutability
   constraints (is the callee allowed to modify the slice?) */

/* Reference count container for gpr_slice. Contains function pointers to
   increment and decrement reference counts. Implementations should cleanup
   when the reference count drops to zero.
   Typically client code should not touch this, and use gpr_slice_malloc,
   gpr_slice_new, or gpr_slice_new_with_len instead. */

   It can have an associated ref count which has a destruction routine to be run
   when the ref count reaches zero (see gpr_slice_new() and grp_slice_unref()).
