+ * stop when a NUL byte is encountered.
+ * 
+ * This is a slibc extension added for completeness.
+ * It is only available if GNU extensions are available.
+ * 
+ * @param   whither  The destination memory segment.
+ * @param   whence   The source memory segment.
+ * @param   maxlen   The maximum number of bytes to copy.
+ *                   NOTE that if the resulting string at least this
+ *                   long, no NUL byte will be written to `whither'.
+ *                   On the otherhand, if the resultnig string is
+ *                   shorter, `whither` will be filled with NUL bytes
+ *                   until this amount of bytes have been written.
+ * @return           `whither` plus the number of written bytes,
+ *                   excluding NUL bytes, is returned.
