From 1ec6c24405fac08d4a4513142afc06e7bc4f5257 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tim Vanderhoek Date: Tue, 28 Dec 1999 14:47:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Avoid the potentially confusing term "a null pointer" and say "the NULL pointer" instead. The potential confusion arises because the string/*.3 pages use the term "null-terminated string" (which is permissable). Moreover, this also makes these two manpages more consistent with the other string/*.3 manpages. --- lib/libc/string/strrchr.3 | 2 +- lib/libc/string/strtok.3 | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/libc/string/strrchr.3 b/lib/libc/string/strrchr.3 index c44996acfb9e..99f46d608ceb 100644 --- a/lib/libc/string/strrchr.3 +++ b/lib/libc/string/strrchr.3 @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ The .Fn strrchr function returns a pointer to the character, -or a null +or the NULL pointer if .Fa c does not occur anywhere in diff --git a/lib/libc/string/strtok.3 b/lib/libc/string/strtok.3 index 26b3a1dfba7c..3a0b77de7f5d 100644 --- a/lib/libc/string/strtok.3 +++ b/lib/libc/string/strtok.3 @@ -80,7 +80,7 @@ The first time that is called, .Fa str should be specified; subsequent calls, wishing to obtain further tokens -from the same string, should pass a null pointer instead. +from the same string, should pass the NULL pointer instead.
