These strings come from the user. We strcpy() them inside cf_command() so we should check that they are NULL terminated and return an error if not.

Passing a too long string is clearly invalid.
the line before has the same problem, of cause. So far i see you do not get a string, you get a structure. An it will hard to validate the element is a useful string. I thing my (sledgehammer) method is ok here because you make sure that all later calls (strcmp,strcpy) will succeed. If someone supplies a bad string the later calls will catch by failing to identify and return a proper code from there (at least i hope so). re, wh
