And so could I. But this isn't the "Debate the safety of C functions" list, is it?
Also, see the URL I previously gave:
<https://buildsecurityin.us-cert.gov/daisy/bsi/articles/knowledge/coding/314.html>
It discusses some of the shortcomings of the functions. And it's not hard
to find other discussions of the shortcomings, either. Why is it necessary
to rehash all of that again? This is the 21st century, where we should be
able to reuse components without having to rewrite them.

It's C. Which has a 'goto'. And setjmp/longjmp. And other horrors.
If that's a problem, file a bug-report against the man-page:
