[][src]Type Definition utfx::U16Str

type U16Str = UStr<u16>;

String slice reference for U16String.

U16Str is to U16String as str is to String.

U16Str is not aware of nul values. Strings may or may not be nul-terminated, and may contain invalid and ill-formed UTF-16 data. These strings are intended to be used with FFI functions that directly use string length, where the strings are known to have proper nul-termination already, or where strings are merely being passed through without modification.

WideCStr should be used instead of nul-aware strings are required.

U16Str can be converted to many other string types, including OsString and String, making proper Unicode FFI safe and easy.
