SSP(3)			 BSD Library Functions Manual			SSP(3)

NAME
     ssp — bounds checked libc functions

     int
     snprintf(char *str, size_t len, const char *fmt, ...);

     int
     vsnprintf(char *str, size_t len, const char *fmt, va_list ap);

     char *
     gets(char *str);

     char *
     fgets(char *str, int len, FILE *fp);

     #include <ssp/string.h>

     void *
     memcpy(void *str, const void *ptr, size_t len);

     void *
     memmove(void *str, const void *ptr, size_t len);

     void *
     memset(void *str, int val, size_t len);

     char *
     strcpy(char *str, const char *ptr, size_t len);

     char *

     char *
     strncat(char *str, const char *ptr, size_t len);

     #include <ssp/strings.h>

     void *
     bcopy(const void *ptr, void *str, size_t len);

     void *
     bzero(void *str, size_t len);

     #include <ssp/unistd.h>

     ssize_t
     read(int fd, void *str, size_t len);

     int
     readlink(const char * restrict path, char * restrict str, size_t len);

     int
     getcwd(char *str, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
     When _FORTIFY_SOURCE bounds checking is enabled as described below, the
     above functions get overwritten to use the __builtin_object_size(3) func‐
     tion to compute the size of str, if known at compile time, and perform
     bounds check on it in order to avoid data buffer or stack buffer over‐
     flows.  If an overflow is detected, the routines will call abort(3).

     To enable these function overrides the following should be added to the
     gcc(1) command line: “-I/usr/include/ssp” to override the standard
     include files and “-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1” or “-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2”.

     If _FORTIFY_SOURCE is set to 1 the code will compute the maximum possible
     buffer size for str, and if set to 2 it will compute the minimum buffer
     size.

SEE ALSO
     gcc(1), __builtin_object_size(3), stdio(3), string(3), security(7)

HISTORY
     The ssp library appeared NetBSD 4.0.
