Ok. > sockfd = socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); > if (sockfd < 0) { > fprintf(stderr, "failed to create socket: %s\n", strerror(errno)); > return -1; > } > - strcpy(helper.sun_path, path); > + strncpy(helper.sun_path, path, sizeof(helper.sun_path)); strcpy is okay here. strncpy makes people think of what happens if strlen(path) == sizeof(helper.sun_path). While this cannot happen here because of the assertion, the function should still be used with care. Paolo
