Yes, single space is enough. Two spaces after a period is hard habit for 
me break. I will update in v9.

I will define DFL in the commit message like DFH in the next revision.

ENODATA does seem to be more accurate than ENOMEM in this case.

Using memcpy() will make code cleaner.

Yes, I will mind the spaces.

params is the name of the structure member that is the trailing array.
