/**
 * Copies a source string, potentially to a target string, and returns 
 * the pointer to the copied string.
 * This function is a intended to be an efficient string copy function.
 * It's purpose is to copy a string into a string with preallocated memory
 * and avoid dynamic memory allocation if possible. If memory must 
 * be allocated, then the old string will be destroyed.
 *
 * This is only to be used where target_string was created with dynamic 
 * memory. This function will destroy the memory and allocate new memory
 * if there is not enough space in the target string.
 *
 * @param target_string This is the string you would like to try 
 * to copy into. If there is not enough space, a new string will
 * be created and the target_string will be freed. This string 
 * must have been created dynamically. This may be NULL if you 
 * wish for this function to dynamically create a new string 
 * for you.
 *
 * @param target_max_buffer_size This is a pointer that points to 
 * an address containing the size of the preallocated target_string. 
 * This size is the maximum buffer length which includes the '\\0'
 * character as part of that count. This pointer may not be NULL.
 * If you pass in NULL for the target_string (indicating you want 
 * a new string allocated for you), then the size should be set to 0.
 * When the function completes, the size will be set to the new 
 * max buffer size of the string if the string needed to be reallocated.
 *
 * @param source_string This is the string you want to copy. If it's NULL,
 * the target_string will have it's memory freed.
 *
 * @return Will return a pointer to the duplicated string. Be aware 
 * of several things:
 * - The returned pointer address may not be the same address as the 
 * target string passed in (due to a possible reallocation).
 * - If the pointer to the source and target string 
 * are the same, the pointer to the target string will be returned.
 * - If the source string is NULL, the target string
 * will be freed and will return NULL.
 * - If an error occurs, NULL will be returned.
 *
 * Also note that the value at the address target_max_buffer_size points 
 * to will be filled with the new max buffer size for the string.
 *
 * Example:
 * @code
 *
 * int main()
 * {
 * 		const char* original1 = "Hello World";
 * 		const char* original2 = "Smaller";
 * 		const char* original3 = "Good-Bye World";
 * 		char* ret_val;
 * 		char* target = NULL;
 * 		size_t target_max_buffer_size = 0;
 *
 * 		ret_val = CopyDynamicString(target, &target_max_buffer_size, original1);
 *
 * 		if(ret_val)
 * 		{
 * 			fprintf(stderr, "Target is '%s' with max size = %d\n", ret_val, target_max_buffer_size);
 * 		}
 * 		else
 * 		{
 * 			fprintf(stderr, "Error in function\n");
 * 		}
 *		target = ret_val;
 *
 *		ret_val = CopyDynamicString(target, &target_max_buffer_size, original2);
 * 		fprintf(stderr, "Target is '%s' with max size = %d\n", ret_val, target_max_buffer_size);
 *
 * 		target = ret_val; *
 * 		ret_val = CopyDynamicString(target, &target_max_buffer_size, original3);
 * 		fprintf(stderr, "Target is '%s' with max size = %d\n", ret_val, target_max_buffer_size);
 *
 * 		return 0;
 * }
 * @endcode
 * This outputs:
 * @code
 * Target is 'Hello World' with max size = 12
 * Target is 'Smaller' with max size = 12
 * Target is 'Good-Bye World' with max size = 15
 * @endcode
