strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers; use strscpy() instead. The destination buffer db_root is only used with "%s" format strings and must therefore be NUL-terminated, but not NUL-padded. Use scnprintf() because snprintf() could return a value >= DB_ROOT_LEN and lead to an out-of-bounds access. This doesn't happen because count is explicitly checked against DB_ROOT_LEN before. However, scnprintf() always returns the number of characters actually written to the string buffer, which is always within the bounds of db_root_stage, and should be preferred over snprintf(). The size parameter of strscpy() is optional and since DB_ROOT_LEN is the size of the destination buffer, it can be removed. Remove it to simplify the code. Compile-tested only.
