Hi Ronnie,
strlcat is not a standard function at all: it was recently introduced by
OpenBSD. It is indeed preferable over strcat and strncat, so I would still
recommend using it; just include the strlcat cat code somewhere in case
HAVE_STRLCAT was not defined by autoconf.
By the way, a good way of knowing if a function is standard is to check it at
this address:
