Functions

func ByteSlice

func ByteSlice(s string) []byte

ByteSlice is a wrapper over unsafe.Slice, converting s to a []byte.

Since Go strings are immutable, the bytes received from ByteSlice must not be modified.

func String

func String(b []byte) string

String is a wrapper over unsafe.String, converting b to a string.

Since Go strings are immutable, the bytes passed to String must not be modified afterwards.
