 | | The routines described in this section, for manipulating byte strings, closely resemble the character string routines described in the previous section. However, you can use these functions not only with strings of characters (which are a subset of byte strings), but also with any other arbitrary “chunk” of memory, such as a two-dimensional array, an array of pointers, an integer, an array of floating-point numbers, a structure, or an array of structures (although some of the routines don't really make sense on all these data types). | |
