byte.
:max_length

The maximum length of the string including the zero
does, as well as the following:
Stringz objects accept all the params that BinData::BasePrimitive
== Parameters
obj.to_binary_s #=> “abcd000”
obj.num_bytes #=> 5
obj.snapshot #=> “abcd”
obj.read(data)
obj = BinData::Stringz.new
data = “abcdx00efgh”
require ‘bindata’
value. Likewise, the returned value will not be zero terminated.
For convenience, the zero terminator is not necessary when setting the
string.
A BinData::Stringz object is a container for a zero (“0”) terminated
