&str -> String String::from(st)
&str -> &[u8] st.as_bytes()
&str -> Vec<u8> st.as_bytes().to_owned() via &[u8]
&str -> &OsStr OsStr::new(st)

String -> &str &s alt. s.as_str()
String -> &[u8] s.as_bytes()
String -> Vec<u8> s.into_bytes()
String -> OsString OsString::from(s)

&[u8] -> &str str::from_utf8(u).unwrap()
&[u8] -> String String::from_utf8(u).unwrap()
&[u8] -> Vec<u8> u.to_owned()
&[u8] -> &OsStr OsStr::from_bytes(u) use std::os::unix::ffi::OsStrExt;

[u8; 3] -> &[u8] &b[..] byte literal
[u8; 3] -> &[u8] "foo".as_bytes() alternative via utf8 literal

Vec<u8> -> &str str::from_utf8(&v).unwrap() via &[u8]
Vec<u8> -> String String::from_utf8(v)

&OsStr -> &str ost.to_str().unwrap()
&OsStr -> String ost.to_os_string().into_string() via OsString
.unwrap()
&OsStr -> Cow<str> ost.to_string_lossy() Unicode replacement characters
&OsStr -> OsString ost.to_os_string()
&OsStr -> &[u8] ost.as_bytes() use std::os::unix::ffi::OsStringExt;

OsString -> String os.into_string().unwrap() returns original OsString on failure
OsString -> &str os.to_str().unwrap()
OsString -> &OsStr os.as_os_str()
OsString -> Vec<u8> os.into_vec() use std::os::unix::ffi::OsStringExt;
