[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 5/5] replace snprintf with strlcpy

[Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>]

Do a global replace of snprintf(..."%s",...) with strlcpy, adding in the
rte_string_fns.h header if needed.  The function changes in this patch were
auto-generated via command:

  spatch --sp-file devtools/cocci/strlcpy.cocci --dir . --in-place

and then the files edited using awk to add in the missing header:

  gawk -i inplace '/include <rte_/ && ! seen { \
  	print "#include <rte_string_fns.h>"; seen=1} {print}'
