## cgo.wchar

Helps with using wchars with cgo.

### Example

Example from the go.hid library:

```go

func (dev *Device) ManufacturerString() (string, error) {

	// create WcharString

	ws := wchar.NewWcharString(100)

	// retrieve manufacturer string from hid

	res := C.hid_get_manufacturer_string(dev.hidHandle, (*C.wchar_t)(ws.Pointer()), 100)

	if res != 0 {

		return "", dev.lastError()

	}

	// get WcharString as Go string

	str := ws.GoString()

	// all done

	return str, nil

}

```
