args->args[0] is not null terminated. This is how I've been handling
this. please let me know if there is a better approach (i.e. whether it
is possible, for example, to terminate args->args[0] 'in place', my
guess is not)
char buff[255];
int arglen = args->lengths[0] < 255 ? args->lengths[0] : 255;
strncpy(buff,args->args[0],arglen);
buff[arglen] = 0;
etc.
of course, you can't return a pointer to buff in this case. if you want
to return the argument you will have to allocate memory in _init and
pass it along in initid->ptr which then could used instead of buff etc.
cheers,
