The easiest way to deal with the input would probably be to slurp the entire input into a string, and then split it on the null characters . e . g . sys . stdin . read ( ) . split ('\ 0').

The first step in every implementation of the standard C library function for concatenating strings is determining the length of the first string by checking each character in the array, starting from the beginning, to see if it is the terminating null character.

Netstrings store the byte length of the data that follows, making it easier to unambiguously pass text and byte data between programs that could be sensitive to values that could be interpreted as delimiters or terminators ( such as a null character ).

There is no mechanism for knowing, at run-time, how many elements are in an array, which is why C has the convention of putting a null character at the end of an array of characters ( a . k . a . a'string').

Another situation where recovery is trivial is if traffic-flow security measures have each station sending a continuous stream of cipher bits, with null characters ( e . g . " LTRS " in Baudot ) being sent when there is no real traffic.

:To the MediaWiki software, one " byte " is one character, including * every * character, spaces, punctuation, null characters, etc . So for example, the following would be 10 bytes-- > 1234567890 <-- regardless of what characters are in place of the numbers.

The alias files in macOS start by the magic number 62 6F 6F 6B 00 00 00 00 6D 61 72 6B 00 00 00 00 which is in ASCII book $ $ $ $ mark $ $ $ $ ( $ representing the Null character ).

On punched tape, the character is represented with no holes at all, so a new unpunched tape is initially filled with null characters, and often text could be " inserted " at a reserved space of null characters by punching the new characters into the tape over the nulls.

The string comparison code used by the kernel at the time tried to determine whether the module was GPLed stopped when it reached a null character ( \ 0 ), so it would be fooled into thinking that the module was declaring its license to be just " GPL ".
