Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] package.c, fix incorrect buffersize

This is ANSI C: `sizeof` returns the size of the object in bytes. When the argument is a static array, this is one of the exceptions to the rule that the `array of T` is automatically converted to a `pointer to T`. Thus `sizeof` will return the size in bytes of the entire array. See _The C Programming Language_, some C draft out there, or <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sizeof>. -- Pierre Neidhardt cursor address, n: "Hello, cursor!" -- Stan Kelly-Bootle, "The Devil's DP Dictionary"
