Various pages use inconsistent terms for 'null byte' (which
|
|
is the C99/SUSv3 term for the '\0' character).
|
|
|
|
To rectify this the following changes were made in the above pages:
|
|
|
|
Replace 'zero byte' with 'null byte'.
|
|
Replace 'null character' with 'null byte'.
|
|
Replace 'nulls' with 'null bytes'.
|
|
Replace 'NUL-terminated' by 'null-terminated'.
|
|
Replace 'NUL' by 'null byte'.
|
|
Replace 'terminating NUL' by 'terminating null byte'.
|
|
Replace 'final NUL' by 'terminating null byte'.
|
|
Replace 'NUL character' by 'null byte'.
|
|
|
|
Various pages
|
|
mtk
|
|
Replace "SysV"/"SYSV" by "System V".
|
|
|
|
Typographical or grammatical errors have been corrected in several
|
|
places.
