Description rmh 2004-05-24 20:19:29 UTC

I'm attaching the strlcpy.c and strlcat.c files, not the patch to integrate them
as I don't know the glibc-makefile magic for this.

strlcat implementation

This is extracted from FreeBSD CVS. I assume the license is acceptable since it
is GPL/LGPL compatible.

This report contains no claims of justification for adding these interfaces.
These have been suggested before and discussed on the mailing list.
We don't consider them worthwhile.  Please locate that old discussion for details.

Oh, I see this was discussed already. Sorry for the oversight.
