Struct NulError

pub struct NulError(/* private fields */);

An error indicating that an interior nul byte was found.

While Rust strings may contain nul bytes in the middle, C strings can’t, as that byte would effectively truncate the string.

This error is created by the new method on CString. See its documentation for more.

Examples

use std::ffi::{CString, NulError};

let _: NulError = CString::new(b"f\0oo".to_vec()).unwrap_err();

Implementations

impl NulError

pub fn nul_position(&self) -> usize

Returns the position of the nul byte in the slice that caused CString::new to fail.

Examples

use std::ffi::CString;

let nul_error = CString::new("foo\0bar").unwrap_err();
assert_eq!(nul_error.nul_position(), 3);

let nul_error = CString::new("foo bar\0").unwrap_err();
assert_eq!(nul_error.nul_position(), 7);

pub fn into_vec(self) -> Vec<u8>

Consumes this error, returning the underlying vector of bytes which generated the error in the first place.

Examples

use std::ffi::CString;

let nul_error = CString::new("foo\0bar").unwrap_err();
assert_eq!(nul_error.into_vec(), b"foo\0bar");

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for NulError

fn clone(&self) -> NulError

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for NulError

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for NulError

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for NulError

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0: use the Display impl or to_string()

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

Returns the lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0: replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access)

Provides type-based access to context intended for error reports.

impl PartialEq for NulError

fn eq(&self, other: &NulError) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

Note: Most layout information is completely unstable and may even differ between compilations. The only exception is types with certain repr(...) attributes. Please see the Rust Reference's “Type Layout” chapter for details on type layout guarantees.
