strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated. The safe replacement is strscpy(). This is a previous step in the path to remove the strlcpy() function entirely from the kernel [1].
