auto s1 = Socket(SocketType.pair); s1.bind("inproc://zmqd_asString_example"); auto s2 = Socket(SocketType.pair); s2.connect("inproc://zmqd_asString_example"); auto msg = Frame(12); msg.data.asString()[] = "Hello World!"; s1.send(msg); ubyte[12] buf; s2.receive(buf); assert(buf.asString() == "Hello World!");
$(STDREF string,representation), which performs the opposite operation.
Utility function which interprets and validates a byte array as a UTF-8 string.
Most of $(ZMQD)'s message API deals in ubyte[] arrays, but very often, the message _data contains plain text. asString() allows for easy and safe interpretation of raw _data as characters. It checks that data is a valid UTF-8 encoded string, and returns a char[] array that refers to the same memory region.
