"Hello\0, world" is one string. If I say
write (1, "Hello\0, world", 13);
I expect 13 characters to be written, with NUL and all.
(One might actually have a reason to depend on this -- say you were
storing ``very small'' integers in a char array. You could use:
char permute[] = "\2\1\0\9\8\7\6\3\4\5";
to get a weird permutation table.)
