From: Frank Kühndel <frank.kuehndel at embedded-brains.de>
Using strlcpy() instead of strncpy():
1) Prevents the compiler warnings
2) Ensures, the string is NUL terminated.
3) Avoids that strncpy() unnecessary fills the unused part of the buffer with
0 bytes.
(Note that realpath() also returns NULL if the file does not exist - that
happens always if someone creates a new file with the editor of the shell.)
