MLGetByteString()
intMLGetByteString(MLINKlink,unsignedchar**s,long*n,longspec) gets a string of characters from the MathLink connection specified by link, storing the codes for the characters in s and the number of characters in n. The code spec is used for any character whose Mathematica character code is larger than 255.
MLGetByteString() allocates memory for the array of character codes. You must call MLDisownByteString() to disown this memory.
MLGetByteString() is convenient in situations where no special characters occur.
The character codes used by MLGetByteString() are exactly the ones returned by ToCharacterCode in Mathematica.
The array of character codes in MLGetByteString() is not terminated by a null character.
Characters such as newlines are specified by their raw character codes, not by ASCII forms such as \n.
See the Mathematica book: Section 2.12.5.
