Well, it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. You may want to contact Oracle Support and ask them for information about it, though minding that you don't even have a license (what, not even a Developer's License?) I don't think you will be able to do it... What is that other question? Did you find a fixed-size buffer and strcpy() of this parameter into that buffer? Is the buffer on stack?
