Member Function Documentation

QByteArray QStringRef::toAscii() const

Returns an 8-bit representation of the string as a QByteArray.

This function does the same as toLatin1().

Note that, despite the name, this function does not necessarily return an US-ASCII (ANSI X3.4-1986) string and its result may not be US-ASCII compatible.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.
