Add the virStrncpy function, which takes a dst string, source string, the number of bytes to copy and the number of bytes available in the dest string. If the source string is too large to fit into the destination string, including the \0 byte, then no data is copied and the function returns NULL. Otherwise, this function copies n bytes from source into dst, including the \0, and returns a pointer to the dst string. This function is intended to replace all unsafe uses of strncpy in the code base, since strncpy does *not* guarantee that the buffer terminates with a \0.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
