# OsStr Bytes

Traits for converting between byte sequences and platform-native strings.

This crate allows interacting with the bytes stored internally by [`OsStr`] and
[`OsString`], without resorting to panics or data corruption for invalid UTF-8.
Thus, methods can be used that are already defined on [`[u8]`][slice] and
[`Vec<u8>`].

Typically, the only way to losslessly construct [`OsStr`] or [`OsString`] from
a byte sequence is to use `OsString::from(String::from(bytes)?)`, which
requires the bytes to be valid in UTF-8. However, since this crate makes
conversions directly between the platform encoding and raw bytes, even some
strings invalid in UTF-8 can be converted.
