In some of its API function Microsoft use the "multi-string" format to specify a list of strings.
As I understand it, a multi-string is a null-terminated buffer of concatenated null-terminated strings. But this can also be interpreted as a list of strings, separated by a null character and terminated by two null characters.
Here comes an example. A list composed of the following items:
"apple", "banana", "orange"
Becomes:
apple\0banana\0orange\0\0
But now I wonder:
How would an empty list be represented ?
Would it be:
\0
Or:
\0\0
I failed to found an accurate documentation that clarifies this. Any clue ?
