Can you explain more to me? David is trying to express the same thing I was trying to explain to you, you should use sizeof(level_str) as the third argument because the code is trying to make sure that the destination buffer is not overrun. If you use the strlen() of the source buffer, the strncpy() can still overflow the destination buffer. Now do you understand?
