 /*
  * SYNOPSIS
- *	char *zustr2stp(char *restrict dst,
- *	                const char src[restrict .sz], size_t sz);
+ *	char *ZUSTR2STP(char *restrict dst, const char src[restrict]);
  *
  * ARGUMENTS
- *	dst	Destination buffer where to copy a string.
- *
- *	src	Source null-padded character sequence to be copied into
- *	        dst.
- *
- *	sz	Size of the *source* buffer.
+ *	dst	Destination buffer.
+ *	src	Source null-padded character sequence.
  *
  * DESCRIPTION
- *	This function copies the null-padded character sequence pointed
- *	to by src, into a string at the buffer pointed to by dst.
+ *	This macro copies at most NITEMS(src) non-null bytes from the
+ *	array pointed to by src, followed by a null character, to the
+ *	buffer pointed to by dst.
  *
  * RETURN VALUE
  *	dst + strlen(dst)
  *		This function returns a pointer to the terminating NUL
  *		byte.
  *
- * ERRORS
- *	This function doesn't set errno.
- *
  * CAVEATS
  *	This function doesn't know the size of the destination buffer.
  *	It assumes it will always be large enough.  Since the size of
  *	the source buffer is known to the caller, it should make sure to
- *	allocate a destination buffer of at least `sz + 1`.
+ *	allocate a destination buffer of at least `NITEMS(src) + 1`.
  *
  * EXAMPLES
- *	char  src[13] = "Hello, world!"  // No '\0' in this buffer!
- *	char  dst[NITEMS(src) + 1];
+ *	char  hostname[NITEMS(utmp->ut_host) + 1];
  *
- *	zustr2stp(dst, src, NITEMS(src));
- *	puts(dst);
+ *	len = ZUSTR2STP(hostname, utmp->ut_host) - hostname;
+ *	puts(hostname);
