Description

Read a string from the memory. The 16 and 32 variants reads widestrings, 16 or 32 bits (2 or 4 bytes) wide, the i variants in intel byteorder, the normal in network byteorder, and the n variants in native byteorder.

len is the number of characters, wide or not. pos is the byte position (!).
