Perhaps, but you do not have to look beyond this manual page to find that such a practice, if it is even nominally applied, is not followed consistently. The remainder of the document spells the terminating value as plain "NULL." FreeBSD manual pages consistently refer to NULL as a pointer value. The Linux manual page spells the terminating value (char *)NULL and explicitly documents why. That is perhaps both pedantically correct and clear. I am amenable to such a change. > I am not so sure about CheriBSD, for instance. I observe simply that CheriBSD is not FreeBSD and that CHERI is an exotic architecture.
