Parameters

cString inout(Char)[]: A null-terminated c-style string.

Return Value

Type: inout(Char)[]

A D-style array of char, wchar or dchar referencing the same string. The returned array will retain the same type qualifiers as the input.

Important Note: The returned array is a slice of the original buffer. The original data is not changed and not copied.

Examples

assert(fromStringz("foo\0"c.ptr) == "foo"c);
assert(fromStringz("foo\0"w.ptr) == "foo"w);
assert(fromStringz("foo\0"d.ptr) == "foo"d);

assert(fromStringz("福\0"c.ptr) == "福"c);
assert(fromStringz("福\0"w.ptr) == "福"w);
assert(fromStringz("福\0"d.ptr) == "福"d);

struct C
{
    char[32] name;
}
assert(C("foo\0"c).name.fromStringz() == "foo"c);

struct W
{
    wchar[32] name;
}
assert(W("foo\0"w).name.fromStringz() == "foo"w);

struct D
{
    dchar[32] name;
}
assert(D("foo\0"d).name.fromStringz() == "foo"d);
