--------
Overview
--------
This module provides two types of strings and utility functions for working
with strings.

**pw::StringBuilder**

.. doxygenfile:: pw_string/string_builder.h
   :sections: briefdescription

**pw::InlineString**

.. doxygenfile:: pw_string/string.h
   :sections: briefdescription

**String utility functions**

.. doxygenfile:: pw_string/util.h
   :sections: briefdescription

String utility functions
------------------------

pw::string::Assign()
--------------------
.. doxygenfunction:: pw::string::Assign(InlineString<> &string, std::string_view view)

pw::string::Append()
--------------------
.. doxygenfunction:: pw::string::Append(InlineString<>& string, std::string_view view)

pw::string::ClampedCString()
----------------------------
.. doxygenfunction:: pw::string::ClampedCString(const char* str, size_t max_len)
.. doxygenfunction:: pw::string::ClampedCString(span<const char> str)

pw::string::Copy()
------------------
.. doxygenfunction:: pw::string::Copy(const char* source, char* dest, size_t num)
.. doxygenfunction:: pw::string::Copy(const char* source, Span&& dest)
.. doxygenfunction:: pw::string::Copy(std::string_view source, Span&& dest)

It also has variants that provide a destination of ``pw::Vector<char>``
(see :ref:`module-pw_containers` for details) that do not store the null
terminator in the vector.
