Blanks vs: Nulls

I'm relatively new to Pro*C programming. In the following example: char name; EXEC SQL SELECT 'John Doe' INTO :name FROM DUAL; "John Doe" is in positions 0-7, blanks in 8-19, and a null in 20. I would really prefer the null to be in position 8 and I don't care what's after that. I wrote a...

sort truncates line when they contain nulls

When I try to sort a file where some records contain nulls i.e. hex 00 the sort truncates the record when it reaches the null and writes message: "sort: warning: missing NEWLINE added at end of input file myfile" I'm assuming from this that the sort sees the null as a special character and...

Remove or truncate trailing nulls from file

I want to remove from a file the trailing null characters (0x00) and stop doing so when a different byte is found (which should not be deleted), and either put the result to the same file or a different one. Any ideas?

FBSETROOT(1)							  Fluxbox Manual						      FBSETROOT(1)

NAME

       fbsetroot - a simple background utility used by the fluxbox(1) window manager, originally written for and by the original blackbox(1)
       window manager.

SYNOPSIS

       fbsetroot [-display display] -solid color

       fbsetroot [-display display] -mod x y -fg color -bg color

       fbsetroot [-display display] -gradient texture -from color -to color

       fbsetroot -help

DESCRIPTION

       fbsetroot(1) is a utility that can control the appearance of the root window in three ways: Either give it a solid color, or write a two
       color modula pattern to it, or render a gradient texture, based on two different colors.

       fbsetroot resembles xsetroot(1) in this functionality but it supports multiple-screen displays, and gradient textures the same way as
       blackbox or fluxbox does. It doesn't handle cursors etc. fbsetroot was originally part of the Blackbox package and was carried over with
       the code that became Fluxbox. It was called bsetroot back in those days.

       If any errors are encountered, fbsetroot will use either gxmessage(1) or xmessage(1) to inform the user of errors.

OPTIONS

       fbsetroot operates in three ways, you must choose one of the first 3 options:

       -solid color
	   Sets the root window to specified color.

       -mod x y
	   Creates a modula pattern. You must specify -bg and -fg colors.

       -gradient texturestring
	   Renders the specified texture string to the root window.

	   texturestring may be one of:

	       Horizontal / Vertical / Diagonal / Crossdiagonal / Pipecross / Elliptic / Rectangle / Pyramid

	       Select one of these texture types, they only apply when -gradient is specified. You must also specify both a -from and a -to color.

       -display display
	   Tells fbsetroot to connect to the specified display.

       -bg, -background color
	   Background color. Needed for -mod patterns.

       -fg, -foreground color
	   Foreground color. Needed for -mod patterns.

       -from color
	   Start color for rendering textures. Needed for -gradient patterns.

       -to color
	   Ending color for rendering textures. Needed for -gradient patterns.

       -help
	   Prints version info and short help text.
