.Sh DESCRIPTION
When
.Dv _FORTIFY_SOURCE
bounds checking is enabled as described below, the above functions get
overwritten to use the
.Xr gcc 1
.Xr __builtin_object_size 3
function to compute the size of
.Fa str
if known at compile time and perform bounds check on it in order
to avoid data buffer or stack buffer overflows.
If an overflow is detected the routines will call
.Xr abort 3 .
.Pp
To enable these function overrides the following should be added to the
.Xr gcc 1
command line:
.Dq \-I/usr/include/ssp
to override the standard include files and
.Dq \-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1
or
.Dq \-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 .
.Pp
If
.Dv _FORTIFY_SOURCE is set to
.Dv 1
the code will compute the maximum possible buffer size for
.Fa str ,
and if set to
.Dv 2
it will compute the minimum buffer size.
