Method String.width()

Method width

int(8..8)|int(16..16)|int(32..32) width(string s)

Description

Returns the width of a string.

Returns

Three return values are currently possible:

8	The string s only contains characters <= 255.
16	The string s only contains characters <= 65535.
32	The string s contains characters >= 65536.

Note

It is possible that a future version of Pike may return further values. In particular the width 7 seems like it could be useful.
