| Summary | 0001829: symlink() and terminating null bytes | ||||
| Description | The description of symlink() says the created symbolic link contains "the string pointed to by path1". Since a string by definition has a terminating null byte, by a strict reading this implies the null is included in the symbolic link, but that's not the intended requirement, nor how systems behave. | ||||
| Desired Action | On page 2095 line 67093 section symlink(), change:The symlink() function shall create a symbolic link called path2 that contains the string pointed to by path1 (path2 is the name of the symbolic link created, path1 is the string contained in the symbolic link).to: The symlink() function shall create a symbolic link called path2 that contains the string pointed to by path1, excluding the terminating null byte. (That is, path2 specifies the pathname of the symbolic link created; path1 specifies the contents of the symbolic link.) | ||||
