-- Utilities for primitive marshalling of C strings.
--
-- The marshalling converts each Haskell character, representing a Unicode
-- code point, to one or more bytes in a manner that, by default, is
-- determined by the current locale. As a consequence, no guarantees
-- can be made about the relative length of a Haskell string and its
-- corresponding C string, and therefore all the marshalling routines
-- include memory allocation. The translation between Unicode and the
-- encoding of the current locale may be lossy.
