Hi,
After a long investigation, I'm rewriting all manual pages about string-
copying functions (and also non-string ones). When there was no term
for a thing, I used an invented one, and documented it, in an attempt to
form precedent; for example, for non-terminated strings (which is an
oxymoron, since strings are necessarily terminated) I used "character
sequence" (suggested by Martin, to improve my own "unterminated string".
v5 addresses a few suggestions by Doug, and also a few concerns by
Jakub. I'm not anymore replacing current pages, but rather adding a new
one, and also rewriting the old ones to be consistent with it, but I
kept them as a quick reference, for those who need it. They also have
complete example programs each.
This time, I'll send the formatted pages as replies to the corresponding
diffs, since there are several.
Cheers,
Alex
