Subject: [PATCH] kdb: Replace deprecated strcpy() with strscpy()
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 14:03:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250814120338.219585-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
strcpy() is deprecated; use strscpy() instead and remove several manual
NUL-terminations.
Since the destination buffers 'cmd_cur' and 'cmd_hist[cmd_head]' have
the fixed length CMD_BUFLEN, strscpy() automatically determines their
size using sizeof() when the size argument is omitted. This makes the
explicit size arguments for the existing strscpy() calls unnecessary,
remove them.
No functional changes intended.
