No. It is useful. If you look at the return value, you can detect that an overflow would have happened and bail w/o having the overflow actually happen. That is useful (and even documented in the man page by a nice example). : > given the opportunity to submit a replacement manpage, since theirs : > sucks. : : Bah. You're in avail now. Just commit ontop of whatever manpage gets : imported. ;-) If your replacement is good, no one will object. :) I'm planning on committing their man page. I don't see problems with it, purhaps people could point them out to me so that both our man pages and theirs could be better.
