I have a COW database that uses mmap and the String type seems to either allocate or move when I would like to just have a const pointer/len to memory itself. Is there anything in NTL that can do this?

How about Upp::MemReadStream? If I understand you correctly, this seems to be what you need.

Best regards,

#include <Core/Core.h>

using namespace Upp;

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN {
    const char *test = "this is a test";
    MemReadStream ms(test, strlen(test));
    
    String test2;
    ms % test2;
    
    Cout() << test2;
}
