shell_get_file_contents_utf8_sync (

Description [src]

Synchronously load the contents of a file as a NUL terminated string, validating it as UTF-8. Embedded NUL characters count as invalid content.

Parameters

UTF-8 encoded filename path.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

error
