strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
These labels get copied out to the user so lets make sure they are NUL-terminated and NUL-padded. vparams is already memset to 0 so we don't need to do any NUL-padding (like what strncpy() is doing). Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding. Let's also opt to use the more idiomatic strscpy() usage of: (dest, src, sizeof(dest)) as this more closely ties the destination buffer to the length.
