[go-nuts] Converting a C char[] to []byte of string with cgo

[Dean Schulze]

I must be missing something pretty simple, but I have a C struct like this:

typedef struct line
{
    char hostname[HOSTNAME_MAX];
    char ip[IP_MAX];
    ...
}

When I try to do the simple thing

C.GoString(p.hostname)

I get an error like

cannot use p.hostname (type [25]_Ctype_char) as type *_Ctype_char in 
argument to _Cfunc_GoString

I've seen some examples but they all rely on *C.char and I haven't found 
any way to get a [25]_Ctype_char to a pointer representation.

What do I need to do to convert a char[] to []byte of string in Go?
