Small pit about strncpy

  strncpy is a safer string copy function than strcpy, but you need to pay attention to one thing in use:

No null-character is implicitly appended at the end of destination if source is longer than num. Thus, in this case, destination shall not be considered a null terminated C string (reading it as such would overflow).

  If you don't explicitly append '\0' after strncpy, you can't use it directly as a string, otherwise garbled characters may appear, or even the program will crash.

  Append the implementation version of strncpy glibc
