[PATCH v2 1/4] strbuf: improve strbuf_get*line documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



strbuf_getline() was not documented very clearly, though a reader
familiar with getline() would not have had any questions about it.
strbuf_getwholeline() was not documented at all.
