## 12.4 String Class

String Objects encapsulate a `NULL`-terminated character string as an Object. For example, they can be used to associate a string-valued attribute with an Object. Since the value of an attribute must be an Object, a string-valued attribute is stored as a String Object. See "String List Routines".

`String DXNewString()` | Creates a new String Object and initializes it with a copy of the specified `NULL`-terminated string. See DXNewString.
`char *DXGetString()` | Gets a pointer to the contents of a String Object. See DXGetString.
