strcpy(), strncpy(), strlcpy()
The strcpy() function copies string s2 to s1, including the
terminating null character, stopping after the null charac-
ter has been copied. The strncpy() function copies exactly n
bytes, truncating s2 or adding null characters to s1 if
necessary. The result will not be null-terminated if the
length of s2 is n or more. Each function returns s1.
The strlcpy() function copies at most dstsize-1 characters
(dstsize being the size of the string buffer dst) from src
to dst, truncating src if necessary. The result is always
null-terminated. The function returns strlen(src). Buffer
overflow can be checked as follows:
if (strlcpy(dst, src, dstsize) >= dstsize)
return -1;
This is my understanding of strncpy. As long as it copies n + m characters into the destination from a source that is n bytes long, you're okay.
n-1 and it does not null-terminate.
