_string_real Struct Reference

#include <libstring.h>

Data Fields
uint16_t	len
uint16_t	tot
unsigned char	tmp
unsigned char	flg

Detailed Description

Main string type used by the library

Most of the time, the user interacts only with the "string". Internally, however, this is how strings are represented.

The value of the string itself follows after this small header. That is the memory address returned by a function.

IMPORTANT DISAMBIGUATION:

• size = size in memory
• length = the length of the string (not including null terminator)

string_real.len is a length! string_real.tot is a size!
