+/* $Id$
+ *
+ * Replacement for a missing strlcpy.
+ *
+ * Provides the same functionality as the *BSD function strlcpy, originally
+ * developed by Todd Miller and Theo de Raadt.  strlcpy works similarly to
+ * strncpy, except saner and simpler.  The result is always nul-terminated
+ * even if the source string is longer than the destination string, and the
+ * total space required is returned.  The destination string is not nul-filled
+ * like strncpy does, just nul-terminated.
+ *
+ * Written by Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
+ * This work is hereby placed in the public domain by its author.
