Subject: [PATCH 9/9] "null terminated" -> "null-terminated"
Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2010 17:45:37 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1263080737-2868-10-git-send-email-mfwitten@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1263080737-2868-1-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-"
