null terminating byte man pages

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

 



Hello

readdir (3) man page says:
"the terminating null byte"

Could it be updated to follow "man strlen" page and say:

"the terminating null byte ('\0')"

Other pages only say "null byte", e.g. getdomainname
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/setdomainname.2.html

Should they all be changed to clarify?

others: gethostname, readlink, stat, argz_add, asprintf, catgets,
confstr, getcwd, getline,
getlogin, memchr, pthread_setname_np, strerror, strfmon, strftime,
sysconf, inotify,

wprintf - should also say ('\0') ?

Thank you for looking into this
Best regards, Jon
