+=for apidoc my_strlcat
+
+The C library C<strlcat> if available, or a Perl implementation of it.
+This operates on C NUL-terminated strings.
+
+C<my_strlcat()> appends string C<src> to the end of C<dst>.  It will append at
+most S<C<size - strlen(dst) - 1>> characters.  It will then NUL-terminate,
+unless C<size> is 0 or the original C<dst> string was longer than C<size> (in
+practice this should not happen as it means that either C<size> is incorrect or
+that C<dst> is not a proper NUL-terminated string).
+
+Note that C<size> is the full size of the destination buffer and
+the result is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated if there is room.  Note that room
+for the NUL should be included in C<size>.
