index.3 wcsnlen.3 proposals

Hello

Some feedback below. Great new release!

I saw in index.3:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/online/pages/man3/index.3.html

Some use of "NULL" to mean the Nul terminating byte. I suggest to change from NULL, as that means (void*)0;

Current text:
"The terminating NULL character is considered to be a part of the strings."

Proposal:

"The terminating NUL character '\0' is considered to be a part of the strings. A user call with c=0 to find the end of the string."


http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/online/pages/man3/wcsnlen.3.html

I think worth clarifying "maxlen" is in wide-char units, not bytes.

Current text:

"but at most maxlen"

Proposal:
"but at most maxlen wide characters (note, this parameter is not a byte count)"


Best regards, Jon
