NAME

cp_string_tocstr - retrieve the underlying character pointer from a cp_string

SYNOPSIS

#include <cprops/str.h>

char *cp_string_tocstr(cp_string *str);

DESCRIPTION

cp_string objects allocate a buffer at least one byte bigger than required to hold the length of the data they contain. cp_string_tocstr sets this extra byte to '\0' and returns a pointer to the internal buffer.

RETURN VALUE

a pointer to the internal buffer, which is guaranteed to be null terminated.
