night byte

good night @ByteCommander

besides, remove() underneath the hood calls unlink() , so meh, same thing

@Serg I'm always a little paranoid when handling strings on C, I actually wrote a personal reference on some functions I use often like strncpy, strncat, and others, to know exactly until where in the buffer they go

funny thing is it's not really standardized, some functions interpret n as the last index, and others interpret n as the string length (so they go up to n-1)

fgets goes up to n-1, which I think is how all the functions should do it

fgets() reads in at most one less than size characters from stream and stores them into
the buffer pointed to by s. Reading stops after an EOF or a newline. If a newline is
read, it is stored into the buffer. A terminating null byte ('\0') is stored after the
last character in the buffer.(from man fgets)

daym . . . this wasabi looks weird, but it's strong

( i'm eating sushi , FYI)

I'm eating something more better

so if we have char buffer[1024];, fgets(buffer, 1024, file);will read at most 1023 chars (index 0 up to 1022), and '\0' goes at index 1023, think it's fine :)

@Serg man, I really like japanese food but I don't really like wasabi

Oil-boiled sushi. :)

@IanC yeah, because strings have to be padded with '\0' . Which is ok. And if newline is encountered, it also goes into the buffer, so you could have something like ['a','\n','n','e','w',\0] array

2:13 AM

but Reading stops after an EOF or a newline, means he would stop at ['a', '\n', '\0'] and then the next fgets would start at ['n', 'e', 'w', '\0'], right?

Swifffffftttt

Immmmaaacoddeeee

@IanC no, reading continues if there's a newline '\n' . It goes into the buffer as any other character

oh, wait

Nathan Osman

There are two ways to store variable-length strings: (1) store the size with the string (2) use a terminator.

> " Reading stops after an EOF or a newline. If a newline is
read, it is stored into the buffer. "

This is confusing ^

Nathan Osman

In nearly all languages, '\0' (NUL) is that terminator.

salmon.

Nathan Osman

No, "salmon" is not a trigger for the bot.

:D

No, I'm eating salmon.

not bacon. It's breakfast.

@Serg that means that IF it finds a '\n', it stops reading there and include the '\n' in the buffer. But in case it doesn't find a newline, it will read the length specified only including the string terminator in the end ('\0')

@IanC so it is possible to have trailing newline in fgets , stackoverflow.com/a/13443815/3701431 Also, he's using sizeof(buffer) inside fgets , that's better for consistency

Q: best version for r15-s829 toshiba satellite

@Serg if the newline isn't found, there is the possibility it reaches the EOF, in which case it stops reading too (only adding the NULL character)

i recently picked up a toshiba satellite r15-s829 at my local pawn shop and while i do love this little guy, im hoping that going back to ubuntu will make him better. i need to know which version of ubuntu is the best option and whether or not the tablet functions will work as i got this with the...

Q: indicator-network and related controls not working on Ubuntu phone

I'm having a few problems with my Aquaris 4.5 Ubuntu phone. The indicator-network screen shows nothing. Meaning I can't see wi-fi and 3G networks on the "push from top" screens. Also, I can't switch such options on the config scope (The only one that work related to connections is "plane mode"). ...

networking ubuntu-touch phone

man, these sushi aren't the best . . . too dry and fall apart easily

meh, i should have gone to actual sushi restaurant for take out instead of local store

yeah, I think I'll use sizeof() in the final function, makes more readable, 1024 was just a magic number for testing

@Serg Should this be closed? It wouldn't really be fair to close though, since the OP can't upgrade. chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/32806252#32806252
