/* This is the byte-counted string class for rsyslog. It is a replacement

 * and, most importantly, lay they foundation for syslog-protocol, which
 * requires strings to be able to handle embedded \0 characters.
 * Please see syslogd.c for license information.
 * All functions in this "class" start with rsCStr (rsyslog Counted String).
