In this special case it seems more easy write it. also ushort seems ambitious since uint16_t need not to be ushort. so my idea would look like this: len=strlen if (len>65535) len=65535; p9pdu_writef(...,(unint16_t)len); just my 2 cents, wh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
