You may want to read the article here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/659214/
and follow up some of the discussion threads on LKML about the best
semantics to advertise for the strlcpy/strscpy variants. It might be
helpful to return some kind of overflow/truncation error from your
copy functions so people can error-check the result.

I am inclined to agree. However, everybody has been telling me that
these functions should be void. Originally they weren't.

...n't change,
because it's using strtolower()) and the other in a driver in staging.
But I understand the concern and will keep an eye out if there are
other ACKs.

[PATCH v3 0/7] lib: string: add functions to case-convert strings
This series introduces a family of generic string case conversion
functions. This kind of functionality is needed in several places in
the kernel. Right now, everybody seems to be implementing their own
copy of this functionality.
Based on the discussion of the previous version of this series[1] and
the use cases found in the kernel, it does look like having several
flavours of case conversion
