Core Foundation String Services Tasks

This section describes how you use the programming interfaces defined by String Services to create, manipulate, convert, and otherwise use CFString objects in your code. Some of the described operations pertain only to mutable CFString objects; on the other hand, all functions that operate on immutable CFString objects also work with mutable CFString objects.

Not all functions are described. Some of the functions not discussed in detail are:

Creating and Copying String Objects

Accessing the Contents of String Objects

Comparing and Searching String Objects

Manipulating Mutable String Objects

Converting Between String Encodings

Handling External Representations of Strings

Using Character Sets

Debugging Utilities
