> The most recent commit to tcpslice (e3d63a6) has traded one cppcheck

>
> -[tcpslice.c:999]: (style) Obsolete function 'asctime' called. It is
> recommended to use 'strftime' instead.
>
> +[missing/strlcpy.c:46]: (style) The function 'strlcpy' is never used.
>
> (Which is true, but neither GCC nor Clang complain about that.)
>
> LBL code never used strlcpy(), it appeared in TTG code in 2001 via
> commit fc7de60. Considering long-term maintenance, would it be better
> to lose the unused missing/strlcpy.c now, or to wait a bit, or to keep
> it around for as long as it compiles?
