Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] Document strnul(3)
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2026 21:53:51 +0100 [thread overview]

In-Reply-To: <cover.1771686088.git.alx@kernel.org>
Hi,
gnulib has added strnul(3). I hope libc implementations eventually pick
up this API. Let's document it in a manual page.
This v2 changes a typo, and the wording of DESCRIPTION and RETURN VALUE.
Have a lovely night!
Alex
