Bring more consistency to the discussion of
"[terminating] null byte"
by writing (at least in the initial use in a page)
"[terminating] null byte ('\0')".

Michael Kerrisk 08f8825735 printf.3: Source and destination buffers may not overlap for *s*printf()
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7075

Some existing code relies on techniques like the following to
append text to a buffer:

    $ cat s.c
    #include <stdio.h>
    char buf[80] = "not ";
    main()
    {
        sprintf(buf, "%sfail", buf);
	puts(buf);
	return 0;
    }

    $ cc s.c
    $ ./a.out
    not fail

However, the standards say the results are undefined if source
and destination buffers overlap, and with suitable compiler
options, recent changes can cause unexpected results:

    $ cc -v 2>&1 | grep gcc
    gcc version 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] (SUSE Linux)
    $ cc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE -O2 s.c
    $ ./a.out
    fail
