Subject: [PATCH v2 0/1] Document strnul(3)
Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2026 21:53:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1771707141.git.alx@kernel.org> (raw)
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
