|
||
uchar array[], // array
|
||
int start=0, // starting position in the array
|
||
int count=-1 // number of symbols
|
||
uint codepage=CP_ACP // code page
|
||
);
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Parameters
|
||
|
||
array[]
|
||
|

[in] Array of uchar type.
|
||
|
||
start=0
|
||
|
||
[in] Position from which copying starts. by default 0 is used.
|

|
||
|
||
codepage=CP_ACP
|
||
|
||
[in] The value of the code page. There is a number of built-in constants for the most used [code pages](/en/docs/constants/io_constants/codepageusage).
