That code will warn wrongly about truncation when the name is exactly 
MAX_TUBE_NAME_LEN - 1 bytes long.

Nathanael, you could link to libbsd and use strlcpy if that's available
on all target platforms. Or, if you happen to be using Glib, use
g_strlcpy. Otherwise use Peter's snprintf solution, but DO NOT make the
mistake of passing the input as the format string!

And choose a better language than C for your next project.
