| Summary | 0000285: getnameinfo() nodelen argument uses the word "characters" | ||||
| Description | The description of the nodelen argument uses the word "characters" when it should say "bytes" (as in the description of servicelen). [Copied from xshbug2.txt ERN 244. Originally submitted by Geoff Clare. Processed too late to be included in IEEE Std 1003.1-2008. ] | ||||
| Desired Action | Action: Change "up to nodelen characters" to "up to nodelen bytes". | ||||
| Tags | tc1-2008 | ||||

Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard states "characters" , and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- See Description. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- See Desired Action. |
