One thing is clear: replacing strlcpy() with strscpy() is probably the
easiest and best first step to cleaning up the proliferation of str*()
functions.

Thanks for all this info. I will work on it (clean up the proliferation
of str*() functions).

btw:

It's not possible to sed as the return value is different,
but here is a cocci script that converts strlcpy to strscpy
when the return value is unused.

    @@
    expression e1, e2, e3;
    @@

    -       strlcpy(
    +       strscpy(
            e1, e2, e3);

This cocci script was used on sound/ awhile back.
see commit 75b1a8f9d62e.

Thanks a lot for your help on this. I will take into account all this info.

Regards,
Len
