In message <20010530182822.A79068@xor.obsecurity.org> Kris Kennaway writes: : I'd also welcome this. I also want better manpage documentation about : things like how to use strncpy() properly, whether to use : array[FOO_MAX] or array[FOO_MAX+1] for proper bounding of buffers : passed to library (e.g. POSIX) functions, etc. These should include : code snippets so people can easily get the right idea instead of : having to infer from verbal descriptions. Some of this stuff best : goes in the individual function manpages, but the second class : includes examples of a general implementation used by a number of : functions. If someone gets the bones of a string.7 (or safe-sex.7 or safe-programming.7 or sprog.7 or whatever you want to call it) into the tree, I'll add what I know about the POSIXly correct thing to do, as well as known unsafe interfaces/practices.
