Hi! Here's a patch set for documenting mem*(3) and strn*(3) functions as provided in . This should put a stop to the misunderstanding and misuse of these functions as handling strings; they handle bytes and nonstrings (and in some cases, strings can be used as nonstrings or as byte arrays, but very carefully). This header is quite portable: {Free,Net,Open}BSD, glibc, and musl, at least and since forever. The C Committee is discussing standardization of , so let's give it a bump. Have a lovely night!
