Parameters

buf

Type: const guint8*

Source buffer.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

bufsz

Type: gsize

Offset in bytes into buf to read from.

maxsz

Maximum size of returned string.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the function if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
