#
# == Parameters
#
# String objects accept all the params that BinData::BasePrimitive
# does, as well as the following:
#
# :read_length:: The length in bytes to use when reading a value.
# :length:: The fixed length of the string. If a shorter
# string is set, it will be padded to this length.
# :pad_byte:: The byte to use when padding a string to a
# set length. Valid values are Integers and
# Strings of length 1. "\0" is the default.
# :trim_padding:: Boolean, default false. If set, #value will
# return the value with all pad_bytes trimmed
# from the end of the string. The value will
# not be trimmed when writing.
