28 /**
29 * Bounded string implementation.
30 *
31 * The UCX strings (<code>sstr_t</code>) provide an alternative to C strings.
32 * The main difference to C strings is, that <code>sstr_t</code> does <b>not
33 * need to be <code>NULL</code>-terminated</b>. Instead the length is stored
34 * within the structure.
35 *
36 * When using <code>sstr_t</code>, developers must be full aware of what type
37 * of string (<code>NULL</code>-terminated) or not) they are using, when
38 * accessing the <code>char* ptr</code> directly.
39 *
40 * The UCX string module provides some common string functions, known from
41 * standard libc, working with <code>sstr_t</code>.
