Hi,
Apologies. I didn't compile the change earlier since it was just a
replacement of strcpy with strscpy, and I completely forgot that I was
working with userspace tools. After seeing your comment, I tried
compiling it and I encountered an error. Would it be more appropriate
to use memcpy or strlcpy instead in this case? I'd really appreciate
your guidance on the correct approach here. Thank you!
