Null-terminated string

[majimboo]

No Null-terminating string support?

Any problems with null-terminated strings? chars field should work

[majimboo]

Hmmm, I thought it was not supported, how would be the syntax on that?

For example I have a null terminated string on a buffer, or a string that is fixed on an actual length no null terminators? How would both work?

see source - it uses standard NodeJS Buffer.toString Method and slices string to zero character.

So it uses null to terminate the string but if it won't find the null terminator it will use the full length?

wrong: p.buf.fill(0, (offset + val.length), length);

correct: p.buf.fill(0, (offset + val.length), (offset + length) );
