### Function

# GLibutf8_validate_len

since: 2.60

#### Declaration [src]

    gboolean
    g_utf8_validate_len (
      const gchar* str,
      gsize max_len,
      const gchar** end
    )

#### Description [src]

Validates UTF-8 encoded text.

As with `g_utf8_validate()`, but `max_len` must be set, and hence this function will always return `FALSE` if any of the bytes of `str` are nul.

Available since: 2.60

#### Parameters

`str`

  Type: An array of `guint8`

  A pointer to character data.

  The length of the array is specified in the `max_len` argument.
  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

`max_len`

  Type: `gsize`

  Max bytes to validate.

`end`

  Type: An array of `guint8`

  Return location for end of valid data.

  The argument will be set by the function.
  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The array must be `NULL`-terminated.
  The returned data is owned by the function.

#### Return value

Type: `gboolean`

`TRUE` if the text was valid UTF-8.
