When I wanted to append an ordinary C string to a BinarySink, without any prefix length field or suffix terminator, I was using the idiom put_datapl(bs, ptrlen_from_asciz(string)); but I've finally decided that's too cumbersome, and it deserves a shorter name. put_dataz(bs, string) now does the same thing - in fact it's a macro expanding to exactly the above. While I'm at it, I've also added put_datalit(), which is the same except that it expects a C string literal (and will enforce that at compile time, via PTRLEN_LITERAL which it calls in turn). You can use that where possible to avoid the run-time cost of the strlen.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
