Subject: linux strlen man page accepts NULL?
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 12:55:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19ac3f7a0908070455s33ecb5efo6810eb7959df1f70@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Looking at this man page:

http://linux.die.net/man/3/strlen

Should it not mention that a NULL address is a valid param? Or is it
not a valid param? On most systems NULL is a special error pointer.

Cheers, Jon
