+## Memory Buffer Tools
+
+This is a modernization of the `(char *buf, size_t buf_sz)` pattern used
+when working with segments of RAMs. While in C99 it is possible (and
+recommended) for a project to create a `struct buffer { char *ptr; size_t size; };`
+and then manually perform object semantics `buffer_copy(dst, src);`
+`buffer_move(dst, src)``buffer_free(buf);` etc, we create those devices using
+C++ language features here instead.
+
+This suite is born out of (though not directly based on) the boost::asio buffer
+objects `boost::asio::const_buffer` and `boost::asio::mutable_buffer` and the
+two principal objects used ubiquitously throughout IRCd share the same names
+and general properties. We also offer conversions between them for developers
+working with any asio interfaces directly.
+
+To summarize some basics about these tools:
+
+- Most of these interfaces are "thin" and don't own their underlying data, nor
+will they copy their underlying data even if their instance itself is copied.
+
+- We work with signed `char *` (and `const char *`) types. We do not work with
+`void` pointers because size integers always represent a count of single bytes
+and there is no reason to lose or confuse that information. If `unsigned char *`
+types are required by some library function an explicit cast to `uint8_t *` may
+be required especially to avoid warnings. Note that we compile this project with
+`-fsigned-char` and don't support platforms that have incompatible conversions.
