Subject: [PATCH] Avoid redundantly filling the position 'n - 1' two times in strncpy() example code.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
When we use 'strncpy(buf, str, n)', strncpy() will fill chars from 0..(n - 1).
As we force the character at position 'n - 1' to be '\0' anyway, don't fill it in strncpy() before.
