+Both

not occur in the string. The null character terminating a string is considered
to be part of the string.
-.SH USAGE
-.sp
-.LP
-On most modern computer systems, you can \fInot\fR use a null pointer to
-indicate a null string. A null pointer is an error and results in an abort of
-the program. If you wish to indicate a null string, you must use a pointer
-that points to an explicit null string. On some machines and with some
-implementations of the C programming language, a null pointer, if dereferenced,
-would yield a null string. Though often used, this practice is not always
-portable. Programmers using a null pointer to represent an empty string should
-be aware of this portability issue. Even on machines where dereferencing a
-null pointer does not cause an abort of the program, it does not necessarily
-yield a null string.
