`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. Moreover, `strncat` shouldn't really be used either as per fortify-string.h: * Do not use this function. While FORTIFY_SOURCE tries to avoid * read and write overflows, this is only possible when the sizes * of @p and @q are known to the compiler. Prefer building the * string with formatting, via scnprintf() or similar. Instead, use `scnprintf` with "%s%s" format string. This code is now more readable and robust.
