[PATCH v3 2/2] xgethostname: handle long hostnames

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

 



If the full hostname doesn't fit in the buffer supplied to
gethostname, POSIX does not specify whether the buffer will be
null-terminated, so to be safe, we should do it ourselves.  Introduce
new function, xgethostname, which ensures that there is always a \0
at the end of the buffer.
