• {pointer}: A pointer to a null-terminated C string.

Example

Procedure Test
    Pointer paXml
    Integer iXmlLen
    Handle hXmlNode
    // something moves an XML node into hXmlNode
    Get paXml of hXmlNode to aXml
    Move (CStringLength(paXml)) to iXmlLen

• Use of this function with an invalid pointer or a pointer to a non-null terminated C string yields undefined behavior.
