<H1>BString Use Cases and Implementation Details:</H1>
|

|
|
<P>This document describes the BString interface and some basics of how it is implemented.

The document has the following sections:</P>

|
|
<P>The BString is as string allocation and manipulation class. The object allocates and deallocates
|
|
memory for you so the buffer will always be "big enough" to contain the data.
|
|
BString provides a number of charachter search, comparison, and manipulation functions in
|
|
a variety of flavors. The best source of information about the BString class can be found
|
|
<A HREF="file:///boot/beos/documentation/Be%20Book/The%20Support%20Kit/String.html">here in the Be Book</A>.

<P>The following use cases cover the BString functionality:</P>

<LI><P><B>Construction 1:</B> A BString can be created with an empty constructor.
|
|
This way the created BString is empty.</P></LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI><P><B>Construction 2:</B> You can create a BString object with a const char pointer as
|
|
parameter. After the construction, the BString object contains a copy of the string pointed
|
|
by the const char pointer.</P></LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI><P><B>Construction 3:</B> BString can be created using a copy constructor.
|
|
The parameter is another BString. After the construction, your BString will contain a
|
|
copy of the other BString.</P></LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI><P><B>Construction 4:</B> You can create a BString object with a const char pointer as
|
|
parameter and an int32 parameter, which specifies the maximum bytes BString will consider.
|
|
After the construction, the BString object contains a maximum of bytes (specified by the int32
|
|
parameter) of the string pointed by the pointer.</P></LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI><P><B>Destruction:</B> The BString destructor frees the allocated memory.</P></LI>
