    if (sizeof str <= strlcpy(str, "abcdefghij", sizeof str))
       puts("Not enough room, str is truncated");

see <http://cbfalconer.home.att.net/download/strlcpy.zip>
see <http://www.courtesan.com/todd/papers/strlcpy.html>

strlcpy is non-standard, and should be renamed unless proven
conflict free in your system because the name belongs to the
implementation space. str_lcpy will do.
