     SSttrrccppyy and ssttrrnnccppyy copy string _s_r_c to _d_s_t, stopping after
     the terminating '\0' has been moved.

     SSttrrnnccppyy writes exactly _l_e_n characters into _d_s_t, appending
     '\0' characters if _s_r_c is less than _l_e_n characters long, and
     _n_o_t terminating _d_s_t if _s_r_c is more than _l_e_n characters long.

     SSttrrccppyy and ssttrrnnccppyy return _d_s_t.
