The above is wrong. You'll chop the end of the string off
when str->len <= buflen.

n = str->len;
if (n > buflen-1)
n = buflen-1;
memmove(buf, str->str, n);
buf[n] = 0;

You go through all this work to avoid copying the strings,
which has questionable benefit, and then this routine
walks the length of the string twice, unnecessarily.
Also if strlen(buf) < str->len, then strncmp can't return 0.

ret = strncmp(buf, str->str, str->len);
if (!ret && buf[str->len])
ret = 1;
return ret;

I think it's weird that you return 1 when you've already overflowed.
It's fine that you don't print more than once, but what's the harm
in returning 0 always when buf->p + len > buf->ep?
