    \class SecTQString SecTQString.h
    \reentrant

    \brief The SecTQString class provides an abstraction of Unicode text
    and the classic C '\0'-terminated char array.

    \ingroup tools
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup text
    \mainclass

    SecTQString uses \link shclass.html implicit sharing\endlink, which
    makes it very efficient and easy to use.

    In all of the SecTQString methods that take \c {const char *}
    parameters, the \c {const char *} is interpreted as a classic
    C-style '\0'-terminated ASCII string. It is legal for the \c
    {const char *} parameter to be 0. If the \c {const char *} is not
    '\0'-terminated, the results are undefined. Functions that copy
    classic C strings into a SecTQString will not copy the terminating
    '\0' character. The TQChar array of the SecTQString (as returned by
    unicode()) is generally not terminated by a '\0'. If you need to
    pass a SecTQString to a function that requires a C '\0'-terminated
    string use latin1().

    \keyword SecTQString::null
    A SecTQString that has not been assigned to anything is \e null, i.e.
    both the length and data pointer is 0. A SecTQString that references
    the empty string ("", a single '\0' char) is \e empty. Both null
    and empty SecTQStrings are legal parameters to the methods. Assigning
    \c{(const char *) 0} to SecTQString gives a null SecTQString. For
    convenience, \c SecTQString::null is a null SecTQString. When sorting,
    empty strings come first, followed by non-empty strings, followed
    by null strings. We recommend using \c{if ( !str.isNull() )} to
    check for a non-null string rather than \c{if ( !str )}; see \l
    operator!() for an explanation.

    Note that if you find that you are mixing usage of \l TQCString,
    SecTQString, and \l TQByteArray, this causes lots of unnecessary
    copying and might indicate that the true nature of the data you
    are dealing with is uncertain. If the data is '\0'-terminated 8-bit
    data, use \l TQCString; if it is unterminated (i.e. contains '\0's)
    8-bit data, use \l TQByteArray; if it is text, use SecTQString.

    Lists of strings are handled by the SecTQStringList class. You can
    split a string into a list of strings using SecTQStringList::split(),
    and join a list of strings into a single string with an optional
    separator using SecTQStringList::join(). You can obtain a list of
    strings from a string list that contain a particular substring or
    that match a particular \link ntqregexp.html regex\endlink using
    SecTQStringList::grep().

    <b>Note for C programmers</b>

    Due to C++'s type system and the fact that SecTQString is implicitly
    shared, SecTQStrings may be treated like ints or other simple base
    types. For example:

    \code
    SecTQString boolToString( bool b )
    {
	SecTQString result;
	if ( b )
	    result = "True";
	else
	    result = "False";
	return result;
    }
    \endcode

    The variable, result, is an auto variable allocated on the stack.
    When return is called, because we're returning by value, The copy
    constructor is called and a copy of the string is returned. (No
    actual copying takes place thanks to the implicit sharing, see
    below.)

    Throughout TQt's source code you will encounter SecTQString usages like
    this:
    \code
    SecTQString func( const SecTQString& input )
    {
	SecTQString output = input;
	// process output
	return output;
    }
    \endcode

    The 'copying' of input to output is almost as fast as copying a
    pointer because behind the scenes copying is achieved by
    incrementing a reference count. SecTQString (like all TQt's implicitly
    shared classes) operates on a copy-on-write basis, only copying if
    an instance is actually changed.

    If you wish to create a deep copy of a SecTQString without losing any
    Unicode information then you should use TQDeepCopy.
