toString

Encode Utf8 up to a maximum of 4 bytes long (five & six byte variations are not supported).

If the output is provided off the stack, it should be large enough to encompass the entire transcoding; failing to do so will cause the output to be moved onto the heap instead.

Returns a slice of the output buffer, corresponding to the converted characters. For optimum performance, the returned buffer should be specified as 'output' on subsequent calls. For example:

char[] output;

char[] result = toString (input, output);

// reset output after a realloc
if (result.length > output.length)
output = result;

Where 'ate' is provided, it will be set to the number of elements consumed from the input, and the output buffer will not be resized (or allocated). This represents a streaming mode, where slices of the input are processed in sequence rather than all at one time (should use 'ate' as an index for slicing into unconsumed input).
