Be aware that strncyp() rarely DTRT, in particular:
- it doesn't guarantee to zero terminate the target
- it is required to zero fill the target buffer
Neither of these is usually desirable.

Many systems have a strlcpy() function which does what you want much
more often.

OTOH is the target buffer can be too short with valid data, they you
need to (typically) dynamically allocate a buffer.
