[Chicken-users] How to convert c-pointer to nonnull-c-string

[Santosh Rajan]

I have a c-pointer to a C buf and buf length. Buffer sizes may be large so I cant use the stack. I pass a c-pointer and int length from C to the callback.

I want to load this into a string. I tried some things based on what I found in my search but didn't work. Is there a idiomatic way to do this? I will appreciate any pointers or solution to this.

Thanks
