SYNOPSIS

long BUFF_GET_COMMAND_TEXT
(
	const char *progam_name,
	char command[ ]
);

DESCRIPTION

The max_len parameter is set to sizeof(command). Using sizeof to set the buffer size is recomended where applicable, as the code will not be broken if the buffer size changes. HOWEVER, neither this method, nor the macro, is applicable if command is NOT a character array. If command is declared by "char *command", then the size of command is the number of bytes in a character pointer (usually 4), which is NOT what is normally intended. You have been WARNED!
