Subject: [PATCH] docs: stop suggesting strlcpy
Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2019 18:25:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190613162548.19792-1-steve@sk2.org> (raw)

Since strlcpy is deprecated, the documentation shouldn't suggest using
it. This patch fixes the examples to use strscpy instead. It also uses
sizeof instead of underlying constants as far as possible, to simplify
future changes to the corresponding data structures.
