That's what you would have to do. You're basically dealing with stuff like
int*** except that it also has its length with it and wraps it in a nicer
way, and so each of these buffers that you're dealing with are essentially
unrelated. They just have a common root. Even if there were some sort of
high level operation that did something along the lines of what you're
looking for, it would pretty much have to lower to something along the lines
of what you'd be doing to solve the problem on your own. It's not like these
are these are buffers which are somehow squares or cubes in memory such that
they you could slice along a different dimension. They're still just linear
buffers of memory.
