Subject: [musl] Both network/if_nametoindex.c and network/if_indextoname.c should use strlcpy instead of strncpy

Hi,
As I have been working on upgrading OSv (
https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv) to latest version of musl, I have
noticed that both network/if_nametoindex.c and network/if_indextoname.c use
strncpy() to copy interface name to/from buffer. In both cases per
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/net_if.h.html and
https://linux.die.net/man/3/if_indextoname, it seems that ifname should be
big enough to hold IF_NAMESIZE bytes which SHOULD include null terminating
one. If that is the case both functions should use strlcpy instead of
strncpy.
Am I wrong?
My regards,
Waldemar Kozaczuk
PS. Trying to compile if_nameindex() yields warning:
CC musl/src/network/if_nameindex.c
include/api/net/if.h: In function ‘if_nametoindex’:
musl/src/network/if_nametoindex.c:14:2: error: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 16
equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
14 | strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, name, sizeof ifr.ifr_name);
