Subject: [PATCH] terminate readlink result string
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2015 13:23:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150711112356.GA30962@localhost> (raw)
readlink does not guarantee that its result string is nul-terminated.
Instead, increase the buffer by one byte to make sure that we can
add '\0' at the end.
