I've added a feature strzcpy to make it easier to not do wrong when you use the function strncpy. By not have to add a guaranteed trailing null character: strncpy(to, src, c); to[c - 1] = '\0';
This arose after a discussion with Dan Carpenter: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/15/74 And I was thinking of making it with the return value corresponding to strlen, but could not make any neat/optimal solution. But if we are to add this maybe it's worth thinking about whether we can use the return value to something sensible.
