What do you do about the null bytes which can be returned?

I mean, when a filename equals "test" the bytearray length containing the string will be 16 for example. If you then unpack it you will end up with

b'test\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'

If you decode that to a string you will end up with:

'test\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'

as a string.
