We probably should drop this comment.

scnprintf doesn't return -E2BIG on overflow, right? It just returns the
truncated length, so the overflow behavior would be different depending on
where this function overflows, right? Not a huge problem but it may be
better to keep calling strscpy to keep things consistent?

I'd just pass up -E2BIG.

Ditto.

Ditto.

Thanks.
