Since we use strlen() to determine the length and then check it ourselves, there is really no point in using strncpy.
But the compiler might complain that we use the output of strlen() for the length of strncpy which is usually a sign for bugs: error: ‘strncpy’ specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Werror=stringop-overflow=] Warning was at least triggered for mingw-gcc version 10-win32 20220113.
