man/: Terminology consistency reforms (n, size, length)
Use 'length' for the lenght of a string. Use 'n' for the number of elements. Use 'size' for the number of bytes. (And in wide-character string functions, 'size' also refers to the number of wide characters.) The change is quite large, and I might have made some mistakes. But overall, this should improve consistency in use of these terms. Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>
