Prefer `strscpy` as it's a more robust interface. There may have existed a bug here due to both `tbl->repl.name` and `info->name` having a size of 32 as defined below: | #define XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN 32 This may lead to buffer overreads in some situations -- `strscpy` solves this by guaranteeing NUL-termination of the dest buffer.
