and that's not the only example.


We wouldn't even need the extra +1 part, since we're only copying in how
much the user wants anyway, we could just go ahead and convert this to

left -= snprintf(buffer, left, "0x%04x\n", *(unsigned int *) table->data);

and be fine, right?  Or am I misunderstanding what you're looking for?  Thanks,

snprintf() always produces a NUL-terminated string.  And if you are passing 7 as
len, you want 0xf0ad\n to be copied to user.  For that you need 8 passed to
snprintf, and 8-byte buffer given to it.


Right, gotcha. I'll rig that up and see how it looks. I'd recommend looking through what I do with a fine tooth comb, I'm obviously not batting 1000 today. Thanks,

Josef
