Subject: [PATCH 3/3] lib: string_get_size: Return void
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2014 15:43:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1418395428-25980-3-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1418395428-25980-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>

string_get_size was documented to return an error, but in fact always
returned 0. Since the output always fits in 9 bytes, just document
that and let callers do what they do now: Pass a small stack buffer
and ignore the return value.
