# String Utilities
This section describes a number of utility functions for creating,
duplicating, and manipulating strings.
Note that the functions [func@GLib.printf], [func@GLib.fprintf],
[func@GLib.sprintf], [func@GLib.vprintf], [func@GLib.vfprintf],
[func@GLib.vsprintf] and [func@GLib.vasprintf] are declared in the header
`gprintf.h` which is not included in `glib.h`
(otherwise using `glib.h` would drag in `stdio.h`), so you'll have to
explicitly include `<glib/gprintf.h>` in order to use the GLib
`printf()` functions.
## String precision pitfalls
While you may use the `printf()` functions to format UTF-8 strings,
notice that the precision of a `%Ns` parameter is interpreted
as the number of bytes, not characters to print. On top of that,
the GNU libc implementation of the `printf()` functions has the
‘feature’ that it checks that the string given for the `%Ns`
parameter consists of a whole number of characters in the current
encoding. So, unless you are sure you are always going to be in an
UTF-8 locale or your know your text is restricted to ASCII, avoid
using `%Ns`. If your intention is to format strings for a
certain number of columns, then `%Ns` is not a correct solution
anyway, since it fails to take wide characters (see [func@GLib.unichar_iswide])
into account.
Note also that there are various `printf()` parameters which are platform
dependent. GLib provides platform independent macros for these parameters
which should be used instead. A common example is [const@GLib.GUINT64_FORMAT],
which should be used instead of `%llu` or similar parameters for formatting
64-bit integers. These macros are all named `G_*_FORMAT`; see
[Basic Types](types.html).
## General String Manipulation
* [func@GLib.strdup]
* [func@GLib.strndup]
* [func@GLib.strdupv]
* [func@GLib.strnfill]
* [func@GLib.stpcpy]
* [func@GLib.strstr_len]
* [func@GLib.strrstr]
* [func@GLib.strrstr_len]
* [func@GLib.str_has_prefix]

* [func@GLib.strcmp0]
* [func@GLib.str_to_ascii]
* [func@GLib.str_tokenize_and_fold]
* [func@GLib.str_match_string]
For users of GLib in C, the `g_set_str()` inline function also exists to set a
string and handle copying the new value and freeing the old one.
