If you declare an char array you could pass it's pointer and

Thanks, that does work (buff.length has to be cast to an int).
Which is surprising. I would have thought that a char[] in D
would not equate to a char array in C since the D char's are
UTF-8, and that a byte[] would have to be used (byte[] also
works with a cast).
