The N th argumnt is a null terminated string.

This may be applied to a function that takes a char * or char const * at referenced argument N.

It indicates that the passed argument must be a C-style null-terminated string. Specifically, the presence of the attribute implies that, if the pointer is non-null, the function may scan through the referenced buffer looking for the first zero byte.
