init?(cString: UnsafePointer<CChar>, encoding: String.Encoding)

Produces a string containing the bytes in a given C array, interpreted according to a given encoding.

init<Encoding>(decodingCString: UnsafePointer<Encoding.CodeUnit>, as: Encoding.Type)

Creates a string from the null-terminated sequence of bytes at the given pointer.

static func decodeCString<Encoding>(UnsafePointer<Encoding.CodeUnit>?, as: Encoding.Type, repairingInvalidCodeUnits: Bool) -> (result: String, repairsMade: Bool)?

Creates a new string by copying the null-terminated data referenced by the given pointer using the specified encoding.
