The managed string library also provides a mechanism for dealing with data sanitization by (optionally) checking that all characters in a string belong to a predefined set of "safe" characters.

The following code shows how the managed string library can be used to create a managed string and retrieve a null-terminated byte string from the managed string.

Code Block
errno_t retValue;
char *cstr;  /* pointer to null-terminated byte string */
string_m str1 = NULL;

retValue = strcreate_m(&str1, "hello, world", 0, NULL);
if (retValue != 0)) {
  fprintf(stderr, "Error %d from strcreate_m.\n", retValue);
}
else { /* retrieve null-terminated byte string and print */
  retValue = getstr_m(&cstr, str1);
  if (retValue != 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "error %d from getstr_m.\n", retValue);
  }
  printf("(%s)\n", cstr);
  free(cstr); /* free null-terminated byte string */
  cstr = NULL;
}
