Mmm, I think you're looking at docs from an obsolete copy -- atosubnet (and subnettoa, which I think is what you really meant!) are documented in the atoaddr manpage now, and the information on their return values has been current ever since that manpage was written.

I do need to do something about arranging for those manpages to be installed somewhere, so they're easier to use.

I'd rather apply #ifdef __KERNEL__ to some of the #includes and get the kernel's implementation of strcpy. <include/linux/string.h> does it; the copy in lib/string.c doesn't normally get used, although it threw me off the track for a while.
