hi,

i have the following struct definition from libattr:

typedef struct attrlist_ent {	/* data from attr_list() */
	u_int32_t	a_valuelen;	/* number bytes in value of attr */
	char		a_name[1];	/* attr name (NULL terminated) */
} attrlist_ent_t;


where a_valuelen actually holds the size of a_name.
how should i map this to a string?


regards,
y
