More info about Serial.readString()

Using Arduino Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer

I think information about Serial.readString() is too short, it tells only "

Serial.readString()

reads characters from the serial buffer into a String. The function terminates if it times out (see setTimeout()).

Serial.readString()

inherits from the Stream utility class.
"
If the function is really about strings, there should be a terminating character or characters?

readString is not about strings but about Strings (capital S). In which case the String class takes care of the terminating character '\0'.
