hi guys, what about a new function called strnlen str*n*len which will return the length of a string with a given maximum to avoid problems with strings not zero terminated. size_t strnlen( char* str, size_t maxlen) {

        size_t len = 0;

        if ( str && maxlen && (*str)) {
                do {
                        len++;
                } while ( (--maxlen) && *(++str));
        }
        return len;

} i suggest we put this in a single c file near strlcpy

That doesn't sound right. There aren't supposed to be strings which aren't zero terminated and if there are it should be fixed (or am I missing something?). Andi
