Type Definition widestring::U16CStr[][src]

type U16CStr = UCStr<u16>;

C-style wide string reference for U16CString.

U16CStr is aware of nul values. Unless unchecked conversions are used, all U16CStr strings end with a nul-terminator in the underlying buffer and contain no internal nul values. The strings may still contain invalid or ill-formed UTF-16 data. These strings are intended to be used with FFI functions such as Windows API that may require nul-terminated strings.

U16CStr can be converted to and from many other string types, including U16String, OsString, and String, making proper Unicode FFI safe and easy.
