Hi Ken,
I think that buf may only be len long on occasion when the NUL is added.So could we get a Ralph-ified version? I think the necessary configure glue should be straightforward, but someone else will have to test it. I'd be glad to commit it, though.
I've written a getline(3) from scratch based on https://manned.org/getdelim.3p and am happy for it to have whatever licence nmh needs. I've assumed POSIX, e.g. stdbool.h, SSIZE_MAX, etc., so it may need some conditional preprocessor bits for portability to older systems. It's quite a fun problem because it's a bit of a "loop and a half" where you don't want more input, but need to produce a bit more output. One can spend ages re-arranging the deckchairs, but I finally went with the attached. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
