Method Detail

createCFString

public static CoreFoundation.CFStringRef createCFString(java.lang.String s)

Convenience function which calls CoreFoundation.CFStringCreateWithCharacters(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFAllocatorRef, char[], com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFIndex) to create a new CoreFoundation.CFStringRef from the given Java String and returns its reference pointer.

This reference must be released with CoreFoundation.CFRelease(com.sun.jna.platform.mac.CoreFoundation.CFTypeRef) to avoid leaking references.

Parameters:

s - A String.

Returns:

An immutable string containing s, or null if there was a problem creating the object.

stringValue

public java.lang.String stringValue()

Convert a reference to a Core Foundations String into its String

Returns:

The corresponding String, or null if the conversion failed.
