From 1e66df3ee301209f4a38df097d7cc5cb9b367a3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 18:37:02 -0700 Subject: add kstrndup Add a kstrndup function, modelled on strndup. Like strndup this returns a string copied into its own allocated memory, but it copies no more than the specified number of bytes from the source. Remove private strndup() from irda code.
