Critique of strlcpy(3) Function and String Operations

The text critiques the use of the strlcpy(3) function, highlighting its inefficiency and lack of clear advantage over alternative functions such as memccpy(3), memcpy(3), and strdup(3). The author argues that strlcpy(3) is not suitable for tasks where truncation matters and proposes more efficient and logical alternatives for handling string operations. The text emphasizes the redundancy of the term "null-terminated string" and the misinterpretation of strings as anything other than arrays of null-terminated characters. Ultimately, the author expresses a preference for memccpy, memcpy, and strdup over strlcpy for handling string operations.
