Functions

createUninitializedByteString

@JvmStatic

fun createUninitializedByteString(size: Int): AvailObject

Create a mutable byte string of the specified size, where all elements are the null byte (code point U+0000).

generateByteString

fun generateByteString(size: Int, generator: (Int) -> Int): AvailObject

Create an object of the appropriate size, whose descriptor is an instance of ByteStringDescriptor. Note that it can only store Latin-1 characters (i.e., those having Unicode code points 0..255). Run the generator for each position in ascending order to produce the code points with which to populate the string.

mutableObjectFromNativeByteString

fun mutableObjectFromNativeByteString(aNativeByteString: String): AvailObject

Convert the specified Java String of purely Latin-1 characters into an Avail A_String.
