Ulm's Modula-2 Library:
UnixString

NAME

UnixString - auxiliary module for string conversions

SYNOPSIS

CONST BufSiz = 512;
TYPE Buffer = ARRAY[0..BufSiz-1] OF CHAR;



PROCEDURE Copy(VAR buf: Buffer; str: ARRAY OF CHAR);

DESCRIPTION

UNIX system calls expect null-terminated path names but Modula-2 does not guarantee 0C-termination of strings. UnixString is used by all system call interfaces of the Modula-2 library to assure 0C-termination of strings which are passed to the system call. Copy copies str into buf and guarantees a 0C-termination of buf. If str does not fit into buf it is silently truncated.
