[PATCH] fork: Remove unnecessary size argument when calling strscpy()

From: Thorsten Blum
Date: Tue Mar 11 2025 - 07:06:11 EST


The size parameter is optional and strscpy() automatically determines
the length of the destination buffer using sizeof() if the argument is
omitted. This makes the explicit sizeof() unnecessary. Remove it to
simplify the code.
