+ * strscpy - Copy a C-string into a sized buffer

+ * @src: Where to copy the string from
+ * @...: Size of destination buffer (optional)
+ *
+ * Copy the source string @src, or as much of it as fits, into the
+ * destination @dst buffer. The behavior is undefined if the string
+ * buffers overlap. The destination @dst buffer is always NUL terminated,
+ * unless it's zero-sized.
+ *
+ * The size argument @... is only required when @dst is not an array, or
+ * when the copy needs to be smaller than sizeof(@dst).
+ *
+ * Preferred to strncpy() since it always returns a valid string, and
+ * doesn't unnecessarily force the tail of the destination buffer to be
+ * zero padded. If padding is desired please use strscpy_pad().
+ *
+ * Returns the number of characters copied in @dst (not including the
+ * trailing %NUL) or -E2BIG if @size is 0 or the copy from @src was
+ * truncated.
