What defines strscpy in C?
From this video on youtube by Kees Cook from
linux.conf.au 2019 he mentions strscpy as being preferred but generally doing what users want (less NUL-padding). However, he doesn't say what defines this (spec or header),
Slide from the video,
I can't find strscpy() with man
$ for i in strcpy strlcpy strscpy; do man -w $i; done;
/usr/share/man/man3/strcpy.3.gz
/usr/share/man/man3/strlcpy.3bsd.gz
No manual entry for strscpy
Solution
It's in the linux source, not in the standard library. Online man page
