LBUFFER:
declares a single local VALUE using >(LOCAL) - which
will hold the address of an area like BUFFER: but carved
from the return-stack (as in C with alloca). This local buffer
will be automatically given up at the end of the word. The
return-stack-pointer will be increased only at the time of
this function (and the address assigned to the >LVALUE )
so that the provided size gets determined at runtime. Note
that in some configurations the forth-return-stack area is
quite small - for large string operations you should consider
to use a POCKET-PAD in pfe.
