Printing a C "string" with write(f)ln

Hello,

When you are using a C function (from an external library) that 
returns a pointer on char which is the beginning of a string (I 
know that C does not have a string type, that they are just 
arrays of chars ended by '\0'), is there a simple way to print 
that string with D's write(f)ln, should I use C's printf, or 
something else ? What is the best way ? Because if I do
writefln("... %s", *pString);
it only displays the first character of the string, the value 
that pString points to

Thanks
