Who is this author, and where is his code? I'd like to study it -- I might learn something.

Almost certainly D. J. Bernstein's string API from daemontools , http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html and his other bits of code. Some commentary at http://www.and.org/vstr/comparison . Probably more commentary elsewhere.
