Sh DESCRIPTION
The string
functions manipulate strings terminated by a
nul byte.
Pp
See the specific manual pages for more information.
For manipulating variable length generic objects as byte
strings (without the nul byte check), see
Xr bstring 3 .
Pp
Except as noted in their specific manual pages,
the string functions do not test the destination
for size limitations.
