c_str

Old rust c_str module. It provides the ToCStr and FromCStr traits. It works just like the old one:

```Rust extern crate libc; extern crate c_str;

use c_str::{FromCStr, ToCStr};

fn somefunc(cstr: *const libc::cchar) { let s : String = FromCStr::fromcstr(cstr);

println!("converted from c string: {}", s);

}

fn someotherfunc(rstr: &str) { unsafe { rstr.withcstr(|s| { somecfunc(s) }) } } ```

Equivalent in Rust

Here is the equivalent in pure Rust:

```Rust fn fromcfunc(cstr: *const libc::cchar) -> String { FromCStr::fromcstr(tmp) // equivalent in rust: String::fromutf8lossy(::std::ffi::cstrtobytes(&tmp).to_string()) }

fn main() { let s = "hello";

s.with_c_str(|cstr| {
    from_c_func(cstr)
});
// equivalent in rust:
let cstring = CString::from_slice(s.as_bytes());

from_c_func(cstring.as_ptr());

} ```

Usage

You can use it directly by adding this line to your Cargo.toml file:

Rust [dependencies] c_str = "^1.0.0"
