Description [src]

Reads a NUL-terminated string from a buffer.

Available since: 2.1.4

Parameters

buf

Type: const guint8*

Source buffer.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

bufsz

Type: gsize

Maximum size of buf, typically sizeof(buf).

offset

Type: gsize

Offset in bytes into buf to read from.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the function if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: GString

A string, or NULL on error.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
