append_len

Appends len bytes of val to this.

If len is positive, val may contain embedded nuls and need not be nul-terminated. It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that val has at least len addressable bytes.

If len is negative, val must be nul-terminated and len is considered to request the entire string length. This makes append_len equivalent to append .

Example: Append n bytes of a string:

public static int main (string[] args) {
	// Output: ``hello, world!``
	StringBuilder subbuilder = new StringBuilder ("hello");
	StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder ();
	builder.append_len (subbuilder.str, subbuilder.len);
	builder.append_len (", world!\n", 9);
	print (builder.str);
	return 0;
}

valac --pkg glib-2.0 GLib.StringBuilder.append_len.vala

Parameters:

this	a StringBuilder
val	bytes to append
len	number of bytes of val to use, or -1 for all of val

Returns:
