everything as needed.
Nevertheless, I do have zeroes in the buffer, so: ```d import std.stdio; import std.string; void main() { ubyte[8] b = [0x68, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x0A, 0x00, 0x00]; /* "hello\n\0\0" */ char[] s = cast(char[])b[0 .. $]; writefln("'%s, world'", s.strip("\n\x00")); } ``` much better than my initial ```dchar[] s = cast(char[])ioCtx.buf[0 .. strlen(cast(char*)ioCtx.buf.ptr) - 1];
```
