>Description:
On page 40 of the Developer's Handbook (PDF version), there's something like "will always null terminate the string." Shouldn't this be NUL terinated, instead of NULL (ptr).

In addition to that, the mem(4) man page makes references to <memrange.h> for various #defines, but it is actually <sys/memrange.h> that defines them...
>How-To-Repeat:
- look page 40 of the dev's handbook
- man 4 mem
>Fix:
- change "null" to NUL on p. 40 of the developer's handbook
- change <memrange.h> to <sys/memrange.h> in mem(4) manpage
