+package buffer

+// Prependable is a buffer that grows backwards, that is, more data can be
+// prepended to it. It is useful when building networking packets, where each
+// protocol adds its own headers to the front of the higher-level protocol
+// header and payload; for example, TCP would prepend its header to the payload,
+// then IP would prepend its own, then ethernet.
