AW: AW: [PATCH 12/24] getgrent_r.3: Use sizeof() to get buffer size (instead of hardcoding macro name)

From: Walter Harms

missunderstanding,
i do not want to discuss sizeof() vs define

in this example you do:
#define BUFLEN 4096
char buf[BUFLEN];
getgrent_r(&grp, buf, sizeof(buf), &grpp);

so there is no real need for BUFLEN anymore
so donig
char buf[BUFLEN]; -> char buf[4096];
would remove BUFLEN
