27 Strings library [strings]

This Clause describes components for manipulating sequences of any non-array trivially copyable standard-layout ([basic.types.general]) type T where is_trivially_default_constructible_v<T> is true.

Such types are called char-like types, and objects of char-like types are called char-like objects or simply characters.

The following subclauses describe a character traits class, string classes, and null-terminated sequence utilities, as summarized in Table 81.
