There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In string.h
|
|
.Ft size_t
|
|
.Fn strlcpy "char *dst" "const char *src" "size_t size"
|
|
.Ft size_t
|
|
.Fn strlcat "char *dst" "const char *src" "size_t size"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strlcpy
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strlcat
|
|
functions copy and concatenate strings respectively.
|
|
They are designed
|
|
to be safer, more consistent, and less error prone replacements for
|
|
.Xr strncpy 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr strncat 3 .
|
|
Unlike those functions,
|
|
.Fn strlcpy
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strlcat
|
|
take the full size of the buffer (not just the length) and guarantee to
|
|
NUL-terminate the result (as long as
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
is larger than 0 or, in the case of
|
|
.Fn strlcat ,
|
|
as long as there is at least one byte free in
|
|
.Fa dst ) .
|
|
Note that you should include a byte for the NUL in
|
|
.Fa size .
|
|
Also note that
|
|
.Fn strlcpy
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strlcat
|
|
only operate on true
|
|
.Dq C
|
|
strings.
|
|
This means that for
|
|
.Fn strlcpy
|
|
.Fa src
|
|
must be NUL-terminated and for
|
|
.Fn strlcat
|
|
both
|
|
.Fa src
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa dst
|
|
must be NUL-terminated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strlcpy
|
|
function copies up to
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
- 1 characters from the NUL-terminated string
|
|
.Fa src
|
|
to
|
|
.Fa dst ,
|
|
NUL-terminating the result.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strlcat
|
|
function appends the NUL-terminated string
|
|
.Fa src
|
|
to the end of
|
|
.Fa dst .
|
|
It will append at most
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
- strlen(dst) - 1 bytes, NUL-terminating the result.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strlcpy
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strlcat
|
|
functions return the total length of the string they tried to create.
|
|
For
|
|
.Fn strlcpy
|
|
that means the length of
|
|
.Fa src .
|
|
For
|
|
.Fn strlcat
|
|
that means the initial length of
|
|
.Fa dst
|
|
plus
|
|
the length of
|
|
.Fa src .
|
|
While this may seem somewhat confusing it was done to make
|
|
truncation detection simple.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note however, that if
|
|
.Fn strlcat
|
|
traverses
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
characters without finding a NUL, the length of the string is considered
|
|
to be
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
and the destination string will not be NUL-terminated (since there was
|
|
no space for the NUL).
|
|
This keeps
|
|
.Fn strlcat
|
|
from running off the end of a string.
|
|
In practice this should not happen (as it means that either
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
is incorrect or that
|
|
.Fa dst
|
|
is not a proper
|
|
.Dq C
|
|
string).
|
|
The check exists to prevent potential security problems in incorrect code.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following code fragment illustrates the simple case:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
char *s, *p, buf[BUFSIZ];
|
|
|
|
\&...
|
|
|
|
(void)strlcpy(buf, s, sizeof(buf));
|
|
(void)strlcat(buf, p, sizeof(buf));
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To detect truncation, perhaps while building a pathname, something
|
|
like the following might be used:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
char *dir, *file, pname[MAXPATHLEN];
|
|
|
|
\&...
|
|
|
|
if (strlcpy(pname, dir, sizeof(pname)) \*[Ge] sizeof(pname))
|
|
goto toolong;
|
|
if (strlcat(pname, file, sizeof(pname)) \*[Ge] sizeof(pname))
|
|
goto toolong;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since we know how many characters we copied the first time, we can
|
|
speed things up a bit by using a copy instead of an append:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
char *dir, *file, pname[MAXPATHLEN];
|
|
size_t n;
|
|
|
|
\&...
|
|
|
|
n = strlcpy(pname, dir, sizeof(pname));
|
|
if (n \*[Ge] sizeof(pname))
|
|
goto toolong;
|
|
if (strlcpy(pname + n, file, sizeof(pname) - n) \*[Ge] sizeof(pname) - n)
|
|
goto toolong;
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
However, one may question the validity of such optimizations, as they
|
|
defeat the whole purpose of
|
|
.Fn strlcpy
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn strlcat .
