String Handling

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks about printing, comparing, or converting ovx strings.

Inputs

Resolve inputs in this order: existing repository files and referenced snippets, explicit user request, then broader agent context.

• Target API surface: C, C++, or Python interop with C strings.
• Source of the ovx_string_t: error text, returned path, dictionary lookup, status message, or user-provided string wrapper.
• Required operation: print, compare, convert to std::string_view, copy to owning storage, or preserve lifetime.
• Repository source snippets referenced below. Treat these snippets as the API source of truth.
