Hello Denis,

strlcpy is used here:
tcpslice.c:999: strlcpy(buf, asctime(t), 128);

With my build:
gcc [...] -g -O2 -o strlcpy.o -c ./missing/strlcpy.c

[tcpdump-workers] strlcpy() in tcpslice

Hello list.

The most recent commit to tcpslice (e3d63a6) has traded one cppcheck
warning to another:

-[tcpslice.c:999]: (style) Obsolete function 'asctime' called. It is
recommended to use 'strftime' instead.

+[missing/strlcpy.c:46]: (style) The function 'strlcpy' is never used.

(Which is true, but neither GCC nor Clang complain about that.)

LBL code never used strlcpy(), it appeared in TTG code in 2001 via
commit fc7de60. Considering long-term maintenance, would it be better
to lose the unused missing/strlcpy.c now, or to wait a bit, or to keep
it around for as long as it compiles?
