insert_len


Description:

[ Version ( since = "2.4" ) ]
public unowned string insert_len (string str, ssize_t len)

Adds a copy of the first len bytes of string to the StringChunk.

The copy is nul-terminated.

Since this function does not stop at nul bytes, it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that string has at least len addressable bytes.

The characters in the returned string can be changed, if necessary, though you should not change anything after the end of the string.

Parameters:

this

a StringChunk

len

number of bytes of string to insert, or -1 to insert a nul-terminated string

string

bytes to insert

Returns:

a pointer to the copy of string within the StringChunk
