   5 <h3>Synopsis</h3>
   6
   7         <div class="mapi-header">
   8 #include &lt;metadata/object.h&gt;
   9
  10 typedef struct {
  11         MonoObject object;
  12         gint32 length;
  13         gunichar2 chars [0];
  14 } MonoString;
  15
  16 @API_IDX@
  17         </div>
  18
  19         <p>All of the operations on strings are done on pointers to
  20         `MonoString` objects, like this:
  21
  22         <div class="mapi-code">
  23 MonoString *hello = mono_string_new (mono_domain_get (), "hello, world");
  24         </div>
  25
  26         <p>Strings are bound to a particular application domain, which
  27         is why it is necessary to pass a MonoDomain argument as the
  28         first parameter to all the constructor functions.
  29
  30         <p>Typically, you want to create the strings on the current
  31         application domain, so a call to <tt>mono_domain_get()</tt> is
  32         sufficient.
