null terminating a string

Question

gcc 4.4.4 c89

What is the standard way to null terminate a string? When I use the NULL I get a warning message.

*dest++ = 0; 
*dest++ =

From the comp.lang.c FAQ: http://c-faq.com/null/varieties.html

In essence: NULL (the preprocessor macro for the null pointer) is not the same as NUL (the null character).
