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.
