+ * Copy the string, or as much of it as fits, into the dest buffer.
+ * The routine returns the number of characters copied (not including

+ * The behavior is undefined if the string buffers overlap.
+ * The destination buffer is always NUL terminated, unless it's zero-sized.
+ *
+ * Preferred to strlcpy() since the API doesn't require reading memory
+ * from the src string beyond the specified "count" bytes, and since
+ * the return value is easier to error-check than strlcpy()'s.
+ * In addition, the implementation is robust to the string changing out
+ * from underneath it, unlike the current strlcpy() implementation.
+ *
+ * Preferred to strncpy() since it always returns a valid string, and
+ * doesn't unnecessarily force the tail of the destination buffer to be
+ * zeroed. If the zeroing is desired, it's likely cleaner to use strscpy()
+ * with an overflow test, then just memset() the tail of the dest buffer.
