My apologies for delay, I was on holidays. The snprintf() overwrites the '\n' in that case also. I've experimented with it a bit more and tried to come with a bit 'cleaner' solution. What we are looking is probably: "%.*s\n" semantic. Another solution would be: ------------------------------8<--------------------------- if (name) { - snprintf(buf, POWERCAP_CONSTRAINT_NAME_LEN, - "%s\n", name); - buf[POWERCAP_CONSTRAINT_NAME_LEN] = '\0'; + sprintf(buf, "%.*s\n", POWERCAP_CONSTRAINT_NAME_LEN -1, + name); len = strlen(buf); } ----------------------------->8---------------------------- I've check this and it behaves very well. It looks cleaner and it is a used pattern in the kernel. What do you think? Is it good for v2? Regards, Lukasz
