FWIW, strncpy()/strncat() were a huge advance over strcpy()/strcat(),
but also have their own problems:

Author Lars Wirzenius (one of our Linux tribal elders!) recommends
instead snprintf (but it has the problem of being slower than
alternatives), or, better in his eyes, using a well-written helper
library instead. (Lots more opinions at the Reddit thread.)
