I did see, where it's being called
but while looking at the code, I didn't
get what it was doing(to the most part)

then after really looking at strlen
it's(like what you had said)
the header of the binary file or
the string length

so to change this would breaks
lots of things!!("great just
what I need"..)

thanks for looking at this.
