Subject: function snprint_asciistring


Hello,
 
We are using snprint_asciistring to get the null terminated ascistring. 
int
snprint_asciistring(char *buf, size_t buf_len,
                    const u_char * cp, size_t len)
 
 
This how I am calling (just an example),
 
#define MAX_BUFFER_SIZE 1024
 
char buf[MAX_BUFFER_SIZE];
size_t buf_len = MAX_BUFFER_SIZE;
const unsigned char input_buffer[]="myname\\unix"
size_t input_buf_len = strlen(input_buffrer);
 
snprint_asciistring(buf,buf_len,input_buffer,input_buf_len);
 
printf("buf printed is %s \n",buf);
 
The output is myname\\\\unix. Any reason why 2 extra '\' (escape) is
added to the buffer (buf). Please let me know the reason. 
Also, is there any function which does not add these extra '\' ?
 
Thanks
Giri
