It was replaced with an optimized O(n) implementation from the musl libc project in .Fx 12.0 . .An Pascal Gloor Aq Mt pascal.gloor@spale.com provided this man page along with the previous implementation. .Sh BUGS This function was broken in Linux libc up to and including version 5.0.9 and in GNU libc prior to version 2.1. Prior to .Fx 11.0 .Nm returned .Dv NULL when .Fa little_len equals 0.
