:mrdocs:

Load into the specified `output` a string of length from 0 to the specified `maxLength`. If the specified `fuzzDataView` has fewer bytes than `maxLength`, load at most `fuzzDataView‐>length()` bytes into `output`. If the buffer in `fuzzDataView` contains two successive backslash characters, then in `output` they will be converted to a single backslash () character; if a single backslash character is encountered, the consumption of bytes is terminated. Note that because double backslashes are mapped to single backslashes, more than `maxLength` bytes may be consumed from the buffer to produce the `output`.
