Struct mlua::OwnedString

pub struct OwnedString(/* private fields */);

Owned handle to an internal Lua string.

The owned handle holds a strong reference to the current Lua instance. Be warned, if you place it into a Lua type (eg. UserData or a Rust callback), it is very easy to accidentally cause reference cycles that would prevent destroying Lua instance.

Implementations

impl OwnedString

pub const fn to_ref(&self) -> String<'_>

Get borrowed handle to the underlying Lua string.

impl OwnedString

pub fn to_str(&self) -> Result<&str>

Get a &str slice if the Lua string is valid UTF-8.

This is a shortcut for String::to_str().

pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]

Get the bytes that make up this string.

This is a shortcut for String::as_bytes().
