Initializer

init(utf8String:)

Returns an NSString object initialized by copying the characters from a given C array of UTF8-encoded bytes.

Declaration

convenience init?(utf8String nullTerminatedCString: UnsafePointer<Int8>)

Parameters

nullTerminatedCString

A NULL-terminated C array of bytes in UTF-8 encoding. This value must not be NULL.

Return Value

An NSString object initialized by copying the bytes from nullTerminatedCString. The returned object may be different from the original receiver.
