From de9e007d9105bf8fa613a89810feff32a43add03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2005 17:00:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: make sure to terminate strings with a NUL This is a slightly more complete fix for the previous minimal sysctl string fix. It always terminates the returned string with a NUL, even if the full result wouldn't fit in the user-supplied buffer. The returned length is the full untruncated length, so that you can tell when truncation has occurred.
