From 114fc1afb2de7dec40da137dc2a55cd38fc220f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Shevchenko Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 15:02:29 -0800 Subject: hexdump: make it return number of bytes placed in buffer This patch makes hexdump return the number of bytes placed in the buffer excluding trailing NUL. In the case of overflow it returns the desired amount of bytes to produce the entire dump. Thus, it mimics snprintf(). This will be useful for users that would like to repeat with a bigger buffer.
