Subject: String Functions in Linux Kernel
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2011 11:21:50 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOG7oKyfjT2gi1SXz6csBAqzUhgEYb4=jCw7=vcdztpgxVMf-A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Is it safe to use string.h functions in kernel which are mostly user
level functions.
What is the difference when I write
#include<string.h>
and
#include<linux/string.h>
Where does each of the above point to in the linux kernel directory?
In Linux-3.0/include/linux/string.h I found an entry for
#include<string.h>
What does the above exactly mean?
Are there string safe function present in linux as like in windows driver model?
