Moreover, many of these getters and setters are NUL-padding buffers with memset(): 2439 | memset(&tx_power, 0, sizeof(tx_power)); 9998 | memset(sys_config, 0, sizeof(struct ipw_sys_config)); 10084 | memset(tfd, 0, sizeof(*tfd)); 10261 | memset(&dummystats, 0, sizeof(dummystats)); ... let's maintain this behavior and NUL-pad our destination buffer. Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to the fact that it guarantees both NUL-termination and NUL-padding on the destination buffer. To be clear, there is no bug in the current implementation as MAX_WX_STRING is much larger than the size of the string literals being copied from. Also, strncpy() does NUL-pad the destination buffer and using strscpy_pad() simply matches that behavior. All in all, there should be no functional change but we are one step closer to eliminating usage of strncpy(). Do note that we cannot use the more idiomatic strscpy invocation of (dest, src, sizeof(dest)) as the destination buffer cannot have its size determined at compile time. So, let's stick with (dest, src, LEN).
