Set value

Firstly, I correct your error:
if(_length < length){ to if(_length < deflength){
but it is dangerous to use strlen for default value cause overflow.
I remove you code to increate length.

Secondly,
a. memset
b. need not _value[_length] = '\0'; case already memset with length+1

1. Now init() and getValue() are symmetrical for parameter length: you set and get with same limit.
2. init() parameter is safe: you can use EEPROM buffer without null terminator.

geez how the hell did I do that.. thanks lol
yeah memset is probably ideal here

I think you are correct that the length should not change if defvalue is longer, but you removed the checking, I would like to keep that in to throw debug errors. That is why I had the comment in there.

strlen is probably not multibyte safe though? So not sure what to do here, just truncate def value, any ideas

sorry, i mean dangerous to allocate huge strlen return value
