  90     Safe and more convenient replacement for strncpy().

  92     This function copies the source string @a src to the destination buffer @a
  93     dst of size @a n without overflowing the buffer and ensuring that it is
  94     always @NUL-terminated.
  95
  96     Example of use:
  97     @code
  98         char buf[256];
  99         if ( wxStrlcpy(buf, GetSomeString(), WXSIZEOF(buf)) > WXSIZEOF(buf) )
 100             ... handle truncation ...
 101     @endcode
 102     Notice that using wxStrncpy() in similar way is wrong, the above is broadly
 103     equivalent to
 104     @code
 105         char buf[256];
 106         buf[WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1] = '\0';
 107         wxStrncpy(buf, GetSomeString(), WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1);
 108         if ( buf[WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1] != '\0' )
 109         {
 110             ... truncation occurred ...
 111             // need to NUL-terminate string manually
 112             buf[WXSIZEOF(buf) - 1] = '\0';
 113         }
 114     @endcode
 115     which should explain the advantage of using wxStrlcpy().
 116
 117     Notice that this function is similar to the OpenBSD strlcpy() function.
 118
 119     The template parameter @a T can be either @c char or @c wchar_t.
 120
 121     @param dst
 122         Destination buffer of size (greater or) equal to @a n.
 123     @param src
 124         @NUL-terminated source string.
 125     @param n
 126         The size of the destination buffer.
 127     @return
 128         The length of @a src, if the returned value is greater or equal to @a n
 129         then there was not enough space in the destination buffer and the
 130         string was truncated.
