SEC16 — More nil/NULL arguments that need to be removed

  • Key: SEC16-3
  • Legacy Issue Number: 2344
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: As we realized during the RTF 1.5, we have erroneous text for
    operations that describe passing nil/NULL for parameters. I"ve
    tracked down a few more:

    p. 15-96 [495]: For the requested_privileges parameter, the phrase "(A
    null attribute set requests default attributes.)" should read "A
    zero length attribute list requests the default attributes."

    p. 15-130 [666]: For the data_included_in_token parameter, the phrase
    "(may be null)" should read "(may be a zero length sequence)".

    p. 15-156 [784]: The object_type (which is a repository id) parameter
    is allowed to be nil. It should read "If this is the empty string,
    all types are implied."

    p. 15-157 [787]: Same as above.

    p. 15-171 [846]: For the mechanism parameter, the phrase "Normally
    NULL" should read "Normally the empty string".

    p. 15-171 [846]: For the chain_bindings parameter, the phrase
    "Normally NULL (zero length)" should read "Normally a zero length
    octet sequence".
