Subject: [PATCH 9/9] "null terminated" -> "null-terminated"
Date: Thu,  3 Dec 2009 16:39:58 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1259879998-1140-9-git-send-email-mfwitten@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1259879998-1140-8-git-send-email-mfwitten-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

The preferred spelling seems to be "null-terminated".

  fts.3           : "NULL-" -> "null-"
  getnetent.3     : "NULL-" -> "null-"
  getprotoent.3   : "NULL-" -> "null-"
  getrpcent.3     : "NULL-" -> "null-"
  getservent.3    : "NULL-" -> "null-"
  getsubopt.3     : "NULL-" -> "null-"
  putgrent.3      : "NULL " -> "null-"
  strcat.3        : "null " -> "null-"
  strcpy.3        : "null " -> "null-"
  console_ioctl.4 : "NULL " -> "null-"
