Note that that's the svn_fs.h way of doing things, i.e., the
lowest-level public API we provide. You might want to use libsvn_repos
(or even libsvn_client with file:// URLs) instead, which provide
different APIs (and hide the entire concept of "roots").

The information is not stored in the variable.
svn_stream_t is an opaque struct, but if you look up its definition
you'll see it only contains an svn_read_fn_t and an svn_write_fn_t.
In other words, the "string" the variable represents is not stored in
it.
(Oh, and there are APIs for converting streams to/from
svn_stringbuf_t's, which you might find useful.)
