"strncpy() is a weird function with a crappy API."
Well if you bother looking up that it's originally created for non null-terminated strings, then it kinda makes sense.
The real problem begun when static analyzers started to recommend using it instead of strcpy (the real alternative used to be snprintf, now strlcpy).
