Message-ID: <524f69650904281145v6c94094er7c31dacff3cec0b4@mail.gmail.com> Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:45:18 -0500 From: Steve French <smfrench@...il.com> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, linux-fsdevel <linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: String conversions In looking at various patches for more accurately sizing the required buffer needed for conversions to UTF-8, the following question came up more than once. Functions which do string copying often null terminate the target string (single byte of \0), and size strings one byte larger than their string name (for UCS-2 this does not work since the null termination is two bytes). Are there local nls codepages in Linux kernel which require double null termination (e.g. DBCS asian code pages), and if so how do you tell which ones require "double null termination?" -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
