NativeString

public NativeString(String string)

Create a native string (NUL-terminated array of char).

If the system property jna.encoding is set, its value will be used to encode the native string. If not set or if the encoding is unavailable, the default platform encoding will be used.

NativeString

public NativeString(String string,
                    boolean wide)

Parameters:

string - value to write to native memory

wide - whether to store the String as wchar_t
