Description

Create a write buffer with the given size or with the given data allocated on the stack making it faster.

This is because you could cause a crash if you were to create too many stack allocated buffers!

The size is clamped internally between a minimum of 4 bytes and a maximum of 65536 bytes on Linux and to 8192 on Windows.
