/* $Id$
 *
 * 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.
