# init(string:)

Creates a filename by copying a character sequence from a string instance.

## Declaration

```swift
convenience init(string name: String)
```

## Parameters

- `name`: The string containing the character sequence to use for the filename.

## Discussion

Discussion This initializer copies the UTF-8 representation of the characters in string. If string contains a NUL character, the sequence terminates.
