* If @data is non-%NULL, the stream will use that for its internal storage.

* If @data is non-%NULL, the stream will use that for its internal storage.
*
* If @realloc_fn is non-%NULL, it will be used for resizing the internal
* storage when necessary. To construct a fixed-size output stream,
* pass %NULL as @realloc_fn.
* storage when necessary and the stream will be considered resizable.
* In that case, the stream will start out being (conceptually) empty.
* @size is used only as a hint for how big @data is. Specifically,
* seeking to the end of a newly-created stream will seek to zero, not
* @size. Seeking past the end of the stream and then writing will
* introduce a zero-filled gap.
*
* If @realloc_fn is %NULL then the stream is fixed-sized. Seeking to
* the end will seek to @size exactly. Writing past the end will give
* an 'out of space' error. Attempting to seek past the end will fail.
* Unlike the resizable case, seeking to an offset within the stream and
* writing will preserve the bytes passed in as @data before that point
* and will return them as part of g_memory_output_stream_steal_data().
* If you intend to seek you should probably therefore ensure that @data
* is properly initialised.
*
* It is probably only meaningful to provide @data and @size in the case
* that you want a fixed-sized stream. Put another way: if @realloc_fn
* is non-%NULL then it makes most sense to give @data as %NULL and
* @size as 0 (allowing #GMemoryOutputStream to do the initial
* allocation for itself).
