That's the bit I'm after. What's the bug? From printf(3):
These functions return the number of characters printed (not including
the trailing `\0' used to end output to strings).
Presumably, you want some indication in the printf(1) manual page that a
null character in the string terminates it? Or is there something else
you think we can do?
Ciao,
Sheldon.
