It really isn't practical to try to have these pages match the approach of the existing pages. The best approach would be to add a description of strlcpy() to the strcpy.3 page and a description of strlcat() to the strcat.3 page. The differences between the new functions and those whose manpages they should be described in make for more confusion than we save by including them there. So I withdraw my objection to the style of the strl*() manpages, but only because I have nothing better to offer. ;-) Ciao, Sheldon.
