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