might be a dumb question...

[l a u r e n]

if i calloc() a buffer and write data into it and then later copy other data into it that is shorter than the original data (and zero terminated) will the entire original buffer be freed properly when i call free() on it?

Yes. calloc(num, size) is just shorthand for memset(malloc(num * size), 0, num * size). -- 20 eyes in my head, they're all the same![^]

That is my understanding. It is also my understanding that night will be followed by day in the coming hours. I could be mistaken about one or the other or both, but I'm fairly certain about both. Matt
