GLib.utf8_to_ucs4_fast

function utf8_to_ucs4_fast(str: String, len: Number(glong), items_written: Number(glong)): String {
    // Gjs wrapper for g_utf8_to_ucs4_fast()
}

Convert a string from UTF-8 to a 32-bit fixed width representation as UCS-4, assuming valid UTF-8 input. This function is roughly twice as fast as GLib.utf8_to_ucs4 but does no error checking on the input. A trailing 0 character will be added to the string after the converted text.

str

a UTF-8 encoded string

len

the maximum length of str to use, in bytes. If len < 0, then the string is nul-terminated.

items_written

location to store the number of characters in the result, or null.

Returns

a pointer to a newly allocated UCS-4 string. This value must be freed with GLib.free.
