I'll have 'em if you don't want 'em. I haven't done the arithmetic, so I don't know about "most", but I would certainly say that /many/ of my C programs use str* functions, and it may even be "most". > The strlen > function is essentially as good and safe as any other alternative in the > common situation where code receives a pointer to a string held in a > buffer of unknown size, so it gets used quite a bit.

Yes, I'd agree with that. We don't need a streq function.
