commit 95ae32391716cf538a2889444b32a82adcac3839 Author: Vladimir Serbinenko phcoder@gmail.com Date: Sat Mar 30 12:15:12 2013 +0100
util/cbmem: Don't output trailing garbage for cbmemc
Current code outputs the whole cbmemc buffer even if only part of it is really used. Fix it to output only really used part and notify the user if the buffer was too small for the required data.
