[PATCH 5/5] gpio: uapi: clarify the meaning of 'empty' char arrays

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

 



Clarify that a char array containing a string is considered 'empty' if
the first character is the null terminator. The remaining characters
are not relevant to this determination.
