From 917162c936936a37c51265b3add3885a15e66a82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 15:55:58 +0200 Subject: tty: return tty->name directly from tty_name All users of tty_name pass the return value (the provided buffer) to some printf-like function. We can thus avoid the strcpy and, more importantly, later remove the buf parameter completely, eliminating the need for some 64 byte stack buffers.
