Retrieved September 2, 2025. Variable-length data has associated control areas known as "dope vectors" which describe the strings. A dope vector contains a record of the maximum length and the current length of the string, together with a pointer to the beginning of the string. Dope vectors need not be adjacent to the data they describe, but will normally occupy storage of the same storage class.
