NulError in alloc::ffi - Rust
Description: An error indicating that an interior nul byte was found.

## NulError

# Struct NulError

1.64.0 · Source

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

Expand description

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§

Source§

### impl NulError

1.0.0 · Source

#### 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");
