2011-11-08 Thread Andrew Duane
Checking the return code of strlcpy won't say if the entire string fit (exactly) correctly, or if it was truncated. I think explicitly checking the length of label first is cleaner and more correct. I would, however, replace "15" with "sizeof(md.md_label) - 1" both in the check and the printf.
