Static methods:

public static string joinv (string separator, string[] str_array)
public static string join (string separator, ...)
Joins a number of strings together to form one long string, with the optional separator inserted between each of them.
public static string nfill (size_t length, char fill_char)
Creates a new string length bytes long filled with fill_char.

Methods:

public unowned string? str (string needle)
public unowned string? rstr (string needle)
Searches the string haystack for the last occurrence of the string needle.
public unowned string? rstr_len (ssize_t haystack_len, string needle)
Searches the string haystack for the last occurrence of the string needle, limiting the length of the search to haystack_len.

Looks whether the string str ends with suffix.

public string concat (string string2, ...)
public string escape (string exceptions)
Escapes the special characters '\b', '\f', '\n', '\r', '\t', '\' and '"' in the string source by inserting a '\' before them.
public string compress ()
Replaces all escaped characters with their one byte equivalent.
public string[] split (string delimiter, int max_tokens = 0)
Splits a string into a maximum of max_tokens pieces, using the given delimiter.
