Hey, it wouldn't be a bad idea to also mention that strlcpy should sometimes
be used over strncpy, would it? OpenBSD created the function because
strncpy's security is insufficient in some cases, so I guess it wouldn't be
a bad thing to mention that. Also, I think that it is important to mention
what function should be used instead of the proposed LEGACY functions..
Avoiding race conditions using mkstemp instead of mktemp is an important
thing.
I am looking at style(9) now and from what I see it doesn't mention the
importance of error checking either.
Want me to submit patches for this, or do you want to change it yourself?
