For strncat, to obtain n, one must not subtract the length of what is appended,
but the length of what is already written from the buffer size.
Verified with this little test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
char buf[20];
strncpy(buf, "123", 10);
strncat(buf, "456789012345", 10 - strlen(buf));
printf("%s\n", buf);
return 0;
}
It prints "1234567890".
