module BinData
  # A BinData::Stringz object is a container for a zero ("\0") terminated
  # string.
  #
  # For convenience, the zero terminator is not necessary when setting the
  # value.  Likewise, the returned value will not be zero terminated.
  #
  #   require 'bindata'
  #
  #   data = "abcd\x00efgh"
  #
  #   obj = BinData::Stringz.new
  #   obj.read(data)
  #   obj.snapshot #=> "abcd"
  #   obj.num_bytes #=> 5
  #   obj.to_binary_s #=> "abcd\000"
  #
  # == Parameters
  #
  # Stringz objects accept all the params that BinData::BasePrimitive
  # does, as well as the following:
  #
  # <tt>:max_length</tt>:: The maximum length of the string including the zero
  #                        byte.
