Pascal

C++
virtual __fastcall int GetChars(PByte Bytes, int ByteCount, const char * Chars, int CharCount);
Description

TEncoding.GetChars generates a number of characters by decoding Bytes.  

Bytes can be a byte pointer or a byte array. 

ByteIndex specifies the first byte to decode. If not present, the index is 0. 

ByteCount specifies the number of bytes to decode. If not present, all bytes will be decoded. 

Chars is a pointer to the destination of the decoded characters.  

CharIndex specifies the maximum number of characters to store.  

The Return Value is either a character array of the decoded characters, or the number of characters decoded.
